    There are several different trailheads to Mount Davidson. The trails on the north (like this one) are narrower, steeper, and sometimes more muddy, but they do give you a more wilderness experience. Views from the top of the hill are spectacular, perhaps even better than the much more crowded (and lower elevation) Twin Peaks.

    If it is in fact the entire path I'm talking about and not just the entrance (which is beyond random and smells like fickery about) and I'll just assume that even if it isn't the ones who might be interested in knowing about it stumbled on a blip and are reading me... Or really do want to be told about something that I don't even know really exists. If it does though I'll say it couldn't have been much because I don't even remember seeing it let alone remembering anything about it that would leave enough of an impression on me that I would think it swell to share it with the rest of a googling and interest in every last aspect of all of it world. ... I digress. But the trail on the other hand is a blast from the last for me and immediately took me back to being five years old walking tree thick Vine ridden awesome paths just like this. I have to admit the nostalgia ran thick through me during this walk and still doesn't wanna leave now which said something.

    Beautiful hike in foggy weather! The memorial at the top is magnificent. This hike is so peaceful and amazing. It has lots of bird songs and feels like a tropical rainforest.

    I love hiking up Mt Davidson, but it is a real hiking trail, not suitable for wheel chairs, and so on. I took my kids here often when young and, to them, it was magical, especially in the fog. They'd look for fairies. 😉

    Best entrance to the park because it has so much shade! Not great birding here that I saw the day I went but it's a beautiful hike. Pretty narrow trails though so go early when there's less people. Most everyone wore a mask though.

    Beautiful trail. Well shaded. Could be muddy after rain. Nevertheless you feel like walking through a rainforest. Dog on leash
