Overview

THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF A PACKAGED TOUR. It's a private, customized journey through our most unique and iconic scenery. Along the way, I'll show you how to get great photos you can share and frame.

* * * DON'T HAVE A FULL DAY? You can book the 4-HOUR OPTION and still see tons of amazing stuff! ***

This is for people who want to see what really makes San Francisco the most spectacular city in the world — its natural surroundings!

We can hike, bike, trail run, or even just drive to awesome places if you're not feeling energetic. Along the way, I'll show you how to take killer pictures using just the phone in your pocket.

I'll create our itinerary based on your interests, how active you want to get, and what the weather's doing that day.

In the winter, we can see waterfalls in misty redwood forests. In the spring, green hills full of wildflowers. In the summer, fog rolling in off the ocean. And in the fall, incandescent sunsets over crashing waves. It's awesome all year round!

What's Included

  • Expert custom-tailored guiding from a lifelong local hiker, mountain biker, and photographer.

    The East Beach parking lot at Crissy Field is free if you want to leave your car and ride with me. (I can take up to 4 guests.) Or we can all go in yours, or take 2 cars. (It's more fun to go together so I can tell you what we're seeing.) Once we all arrive, we'll call or text to find each other.

    What To Expect

    The goal of this private, customizable FULL-DAY trip is to have a blast seeing epic places you'd probably not find on your own. Along the way, I'll show you how to take fantastic photos using just the phone in your pocket!

    * * * DON'T HAVE A FULL DAY? YOU CAN BOOK THE 4-HOUR OPTION AND STILL SEE A LOT OF AMAZING STUFF! * * *

    This area is spectacular any time of year, so we'll pick our locations based on what you want to see, how active you want to be, and what the weather is doing that day.

    We can hike, bike, trail run — or even just drive to iconic places if you're not feeling up to the exercise. It's up to you!

    Depending on the season, we can see roaring waterfalls, blazing sunsets, deep redwood groves, wildflowers, crashing waves, and more. The possibilities are endless and awesome. At certain times, we can even hike by moonlight.

    * Re: MEALS: We'll likely get hungry on our adventure, so bring something to munch on (snacks, water, sandwich, etc.) Or else we can stop at a local place on the way.

    *(IMPORTANT: If we bike, you'll need your own bikes and helmets, etc. I can recommend good rental shops. I'll also need to know how experienced and how fit you are.
