For the Dogs - Coastal Canine Magazine

9. Coit Tower – Climb the stairway up and around Telegraph Hill past the wild parrots and cottage gardens. Reward your dog with
some quality treats and fresh water when you arrive at the top and don’t forget some snacks for yourself. You both will be rewarded
with outstanding panoramic views of the City and the bay. Explore Pioneer Park and this magnificent art deco tower built as a
monument to San Francisco’s heroic fire fighters. Access stairway at Filbert and Sansome Streets (close to 400 steps).
10. Buena Vista Park – Access the park from upper Haight Street at Buena Vista Avenue. Hike up the central ridge through tall
stands of Eucalyptus and Oak trees, eventually finding your way up to the two highest view points. Take a rest on the bench at the
first view point before making your way to the main peak where you will find a solitary rock outcropping and a small lawn area.
The city bussles below as you and your best pal gaze out in relative quietude.
Note: To get from one place to the next, make use of one of San Francisco’s pet-friendly transports—National Cab Company,
Cable Cars and even Muni, San Francisco’s bus system. (Muni requires your dog wear a muzzle.)
