Whether you're planning a quick afternoon escape, a full day of hiking and sightseeing, or an extended visit to San Francisco, there's always something new to discover. Here are the iconic destinations in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area for any trip to the parks.

Here at the Golden Gate National Parks, there are so many opportunities to celebrate National Park Week 2026! See all the different ways you can experience the national parks in our backyard from August 22-30.

Don’t let the “cold months” fool you—summer is the perfect time to warm the body, mind, and soul with happenings throughout the parks from June through August.
