One of many missions. We love riding bikes on the mission trail; starting with Mission Concepion, Mission San Jose, Mission San Juan, and finishing at Mission Espada.
You can rent bikes at most parks on the mission trail with the app “BCycle”.

A must see if you want a great birds eye view of the whole city. There is a restaurant in the tower (Chart House) or we suggest going up for a quick cocktail and app at the bar (Bar 601).
