New adventures await at the San Francisco Presidio Tunnel Tops Park with a recent large-scale mural installation of creatures like coyotes, monarch butterflies, and colorful exotic birds. The exhibit is now on show at the Outpost Courtyard overlooking Chrissy Field. Strolling the Cliff Walk to reach the exhibit is my favorite route. Along the way, San Francisco immodestly showcases some of her most prized glories with stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge, breathtaking bay views, and, farther along, the glistening visage of the city skyline punctuated by the dome of the Palace of Fine Arts.

Welcome to a view of the bay with a lounge in one of the Adirondack chairs.

You will soon arrive at The Outpost, a two-acre children’s play area. Just beyond it, look for the Field Station building. Here, you’ll come upon an entry area transformed by large-scale botanical and wildlife-themed murals, some at ground level for child play. It’s a must-see, a wonderful addition for children and adults. as it adds to the spectacular views.
