A vigorous, dark-of-night hike/tumble down to Baker Beach from Lincoln Ave provides the hiker/tumbler a beachside view of the Golden Gate Bridge. With 5′ waves crashing on the sand in front of you and breaking on large rock debris between you and the bridge you are totally removed from the city left behind minutes and 400 vertical feet ago. It’s a beautiful, private sensory escape. Then you wonder how you’re going to climb back up the sheer sand cliff you slid down 30 minutes ago.
