If you’ve been looking for a good overview tour of the Lands End area and its history, this event is for you!
Led by Lands End historian and retired GGNRA ranger John Martini, the 2 hour “Steam Trains, Shipwrecks, and Sutro Baths” walk explores some of the area’s rich history.
John will follow the old Land’s End railroad grade to a scenic overlook and, if the tide is low, you may spot the rusty remains of steamships wrecked on the rocks below.
John will also tell stories and share photos as you walk within the ruins of Sutro Baths, including a venture inside one of the tunnels Adolph Sutro created in the 1890s as part of his Baths complex.
The tour runs from 10am until 12noon. To RSVP and get the meetup location, call (415) 561-3054 or write trailsforever@parksconservancy.org.
