What travelers say:

Pioneer Park, Trail Blazer Park, or Translation Pioneer Park, is located on the top of Telegraph Mountain in San Francisco. Address: 1 Telegraph Hill Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94133. Trail Blazer Park, covering an area of about 4.89 acres, was established in 1876 to celebrate the centenary of the founding of the United States. Before the park was built, the site belonged to the Maritime Telegraph Station, so the mountain is called Telegraph Mountain. Telegraph Hill, 83 meters above sea level, is one of the forty-four hills of San Francisco, and one of the original seven hills. The main building in Trail Blazer Park is the Coit Tower. The tower is 64 meters high, round in appearance, highly technical style, and is a reinforced concrete building. Designed by architects Arthur Brown, Jr. and Henry Howard, built from 1932 to 1933, because Lily Hitchcock Coyt (Lillie Hitchcock Coit) donated a third of her heritage to San Francisco for beautifying the city, the tower funds even used Coyt's bequest, So the tower was named Koit Tower; on January 29, 2008, Koit Tower was listed on the National Historical List (National Register of Historic Placeson). There is a bronze statue in the front of the Koit Tower for commemoration. The Coit Tower, also known as the Coit Memorial Tower, is a tribute to volunteer firefighters who died in five San Francisco fires. Early in the morning, we set off from the North Beach, walked slowly, then climbed, circled several times, climbed the stone steps, and came to Pioneer Park. At that time, tourists were scarce, and all the people who saw were local mountaineering and running, mostly slim and healthy women in their 20s and 30s. Around the park, the photos taken were not as good as the landscape. Looking down, far away, the Golden Gate Bridge, the city's tall buildings, were in sight. When I went down the mountain, I really lost my way. I had to go up the mountain only to the top of the mountain. I saw the Koit Tower. I only climbed once and turned back to the intersection and chose the road again. From the top of the mountain, it was theoretically three hundred and sixty degrees, and when I went down the mountain, it was a little bit worse. There is no shortcut to go straight down. On the surface, I looked at the pass close to the goal of my heart, but went far away. Just cross the heart and go down to the sea. On the side of the hillside to the sea, the house has a flavor... Walking everywhere, almost lost, but the heart is quiet. Sunshine, clouds, wood, winding paths... I really want to get lost in the quiet. Finally, I went around a quiet block. Life, like this up and down the mountain, has the intention and the intention, and the loss and the loss.
