Mount Sutro, Forest-covered summit in San Francisco, United States
Mount Sutro rises 911 feet above sea level, featuring dense eucalyptus forests and five miles of trails throughout its 61-acre open space reserve.
Adolph Sutro, San Francisco's mayor from 1894 to 1896, initiated tree planting on the formerly barren hill during an Arbor Day celebration in 1886.
The Rotary Meadow at the summit displays California native plants, offering educational opportunities about local flora throughout different seasons.
Visitors can access multiple hiking trails maintained by Sutro Stewards, with street parking available near trail entrances on Stanyan Street and Clarendon Avenue.
The mountain's location in San Francisco's fog belt creates a natural cloud forest, with trees collecting 30 to 40 percent of their moisture from fog precipitation.
