SF BAY AREA DAY TRIP ADVENTURE

Day Trip Adventure: Portals of the Past, Golden Gate Park

Stroll through Speedway Meadows, cross the Polo Fields, visit the Portals of the Past at Lloyd Lake, and climb to the top of Rainbow Falls

This is part of a series of family-oriented day trip outings around the San Francisco Bay Area I look forward to enjoying with my kids once social distancing and shelter in place isn’t the norm any longer.

Portals of the Past — Bonus Golden Gate Park Adventure

I really enjoy taking this walk along old Speedway Meadows to see the Portals of the Past. So much of what we see in San Francisco is recently built. Even if something seems old, it likely doesn’t date back before the 1906 earthquake (with a few exceptions). This three and a half mile out and back hike gives us a glimpse of old San Francisco, to let our imaginations picture what life was like at one time.
