- For this adventure date, preparation is key. Start by choosing a trail that suits your and your partner's fitness level. Once that's decided, plan your route and make sure to print or download a map of the area. While San Francisco's trails are well marked, having a map as a backup is always a good idea.
- Next is preparing the food for your sunrise picnic brunch. Some quick, easy, and portable options include sandwiches, fruit, granola bars, and of course, coffee or tea in a thermal flask. Remember to pack it all in a sturdy backpack along with some blankets to sit on.
- Lastly, do not forget to check the weather and dress accordingly. While September in San Francisco is usually mild, it's always a good idea to bring a jacket or sweater, as it might get chilly once the sun goes down.

Some tips:
- Always remember to respect the trails and leave no trace behind. Piicnicking responsibly means you are careful not to disturb the wildlife and you pack out what you pack in. It's also worth noting that in some areas, alcohol consumption may be prohibited.
- Take advantage of the photo opportunities. San Francisco is known for its instagrammable spots, and the trails are no exception. Capture your sunrise picnic and the stunning views of the city โ but always be careful about not stepping off the trails while doing so.
- Lastly, let someone know where you're going and when you plan to return. This is a basic safety measure that's always good to follow while hiking. Even in a city as urban as San Francisco, it's possible to lose cell service up in the hills.
