Mount Sutro

Mount Sutro (elevation: 909 ft. / 277 meters) is a hill in San Francisco, California USA, that was once named Mount Parnassus. It was renamed to honor Adolph Sutro, the 24th mayor of San Francisco. The property is part of the parcel originally granted to the university by Sutro to build a campus that later became UCSF. Most of Mount Sutro remains private property owned by  University of California, San Francisco. Unmarked trails leading up to the forested summit on the mountain are open to visitors, but there are no views from the top. In 2004 the mountain summit was landscaped to provide walking trails through wildflower beds. Best access to the summit is off of Clarendon Avenue into the UCSF housing complex called Andrea San Niguel, and following the paved road to the left all the way up to the top. Another access to the mountain summit can be obtained by ascending Warren Drive from 7th Avenue on the west side of the mountain, climbing the 355-step public staircase from Warren Drive to Crestmont Drive (known as Oakhurst Way on the map), turning left at the top and entering the forest where Crestmont makes a sharp right.
