Mount Davidson is the highest natural point in San Francisco, California. It's like the boss of all the hills in the city! Standing tall at 928 feet, it's located near the center of San Francisco, making it a prominent landmark that you can't miss. But what really catches your eye is the massive 103-foot concrete cross perched on top of the hill. It's a sight to behold, especially when it's illuminated during Easter and other special occasions.
The park surrounding Mount Davidson is a popular spot for locals to hike and enjoy the breathtaking views of the city. There are a number of trailheads and interconnecting trails that wrap around this peak. At their longest, the hikes are less than 2.0 miles out and back. So if you're ever in San Francisco, don't forget to pay a visit to this majestic mountain!
