The Labyrinth at Land's End

The Labyrinth at Land's End is located on the windy and rugged northwestern edge of Lincoln Park, 15 minutes walking distance from the Palace of the Legion of Honor. The leveled cliff top where it resides was outfitted with huge cannon and anti-aircraft gun installations during World War II. The ruins of bunkers and pillboxes still dot the landscape all around Land's End. Parts of the Park Service utility road that winds its way along the cliffs at Land's End was originally the track-bed for Adolf Sutro's train in the late 19th century. The train delivered San Franciscans to the famous and much loved Cliff House and Sutro Baths. Nowadays, it is used by hikers, joggers, dog-walkers, raccoons, skunks, and coyotes. Eduardo Aguilera is the creator of the labyrinth at Land’s End.
