    Hike Our Most Hidden Watershed

    On the west side of Twin Peaks near 7th avenue, there exists a watershed, which used to be one of San Francisco's major reservoirs. This area has been through a lot over the years. Sewers flow underneath the deteriorating concrete bottom; Muni Metro trains run below the creek. During this tour, you'll examine the secret backwoods of the watershed where no official trails go! You'll stumble upon some renegade trails that have been appearing, but for the most part, this area remains secret. Learn about the tumultuous past of this area as you discover more about the undeniable link between nature and the growth of San Francisco.

    Mission District: Water Walking

    Why is the Mission of San Francisco called "Dolores"? On this fascinating tour, you will explore treks along water routes where creeks once flowed, before the city grew up. Some are still flowing, hidden to the untrained eye. As you walk along, you'll delve into both practical and political sides of local drinking water, sewers, wells, hydrants and reservoirs. This extensive, interactive history lesson covers sinking hotels, lagunas, arroyos, Chula Alley, and a brutally incorrect bronze plaque. You'll find out how this place came to be a population center; and coolest of all, you will finally debunk San Francisco's founding lore -- "Founded on a now-vanished freshwater lake" -- and see how that myth came into being. With so much water everywhere, you'll be awash in history.
