The Presidio has excellent hiking trails with bay views that most visitors miss completely. The Batteries to Bluffs Trail connects several old military battery sites with Golden Gate Bridge perspectives. 2.5 miles, mostly flat with gentle elevation changes.

Lover's Lane trail goes through eucalyptus groves and feels like you're not in a city. More peaceful than the crowded areas of Golden Gate Park and you can combine it with Crissy Field. Trails get muddy after rain so check conditions first.
