Take a hike this Saturday and discover the hidden secrets of Fort Funston. Fort Funston once held a battery of guns and missiles, but now is a great hiking spot. Fort Funston's steady ocean breeze, beautiful sandy bluffs and massive sand dunes (some over 200 feet) make this one of the best places to hike in the Bay Area, as well as one of the premier hang-gliding spots in the U.S. Come on out this Saturday, August 6th, 2011, for a hiking adventure through the windy trails of Fort Funston followed by a 4.5-mile hike around Lake Merced. Your fearless guide, Alex Genadinik, of www.comehike.com will lead the 6-mile Funston hike through dense thickets of willow, dark secret tunnels and sandy dunes. Described as an Alice in Wonderland-type hiking experience, it will definitely be an adventure. Try not to fall down the rabbit hole!
