The Labyrinth at Lands End

The Labyrinth at Lands End. The Labyrinth is located on the northwestern
rugged edge of Lincoln Park, 15 minutes walking distance from the Legion of
Honor Museum. The leveled cliff top where it resides was outfitted with huge
cannon and anti-aircraft gun installations during World War II. The decrepit
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 Lands 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.
