Views and Solitude at Inspiration Point, Presidio Park Walk (Video)

The weather was perfect to get out and walk the dogs somewhere  off the beaten path. Today, I chose Presidio Park because its a perfect 30 getaway right in the city. Easy parking along Cosoy Way lead me a trail head near the bathrooms. Lots of families were out enjoying the greenbelts with picnics and sports. Walking North I took the upper trails to the Inspiration Point benches located at the top of the grass hill east of the parking lot. Looping back to another trail we came back down and crossed over near Serra Museum, and back through the pergola outlook to the lot. Enjoy
