Overview Despite Mt Davidsons rather low elevation it is the highpoint of San Francisco County. It is closely surrounded on all sides by a highly urban area. At the summit there is a large cross that is dedicated to the victims of the Armenian Genocide. The summit provides some decent views but not as good as Mt Tam or other near by peaks. Unfortunately, bagging the SF County highpoint is the only worthwhile reason to visit Mt Davidson.Getting ThereNow here's the fun part. To get to Mt. Davidson from Highway 1 (19th Ave.), travel east on Vicente Street from 19 Avenue. Travel 1/2 mile to Portola Drive and turn left. In just after 1/2 mile, turn right onto Miraloma Drive, then a quick left up Marne Drive. Be sure to stay on Marne, and not to veer right onto Juanita Drive. Continue up Marne to the intersection of Landsdale, which goes right, and Dalewood, which goes left. Take Dalewood for about .35 miles until you come to Myra Way, where the trailhead is located on the left side of the street. Park here and hike up to the summit. Basically all trails you see will go up to the summit, so it isn't very difficult to navigate.
