Mt. Davidson Cross Still Stands over San Francisco
Erected in 1934, lit by a telegraph key by President Roosevelt, this cross is the fourth built in the same spot. There were three before it burned down twice until this 103 foot concrete and steel was finally built. Through all this and a major lawsuit, the cross still stands on the highest point of San Francisco as a testament to the enduring power of God's redemption of mankind.

Eric B’s Daily Vlogs #437 - The Hidden Secret Cross on Mount Davidson San Francisco
Mount Davidson is the highest natural point in San Francisco, California, with an elevation of 928 feet (283 m).[2] It is located near the geographical center of the city, south of Twin Peaks and Portola Drive and to the west of Diamond Heights and Glen Park. It dominates the southeastern view from most of Portola Drive. It is one of San Francisco's many hills and one of its original Seven Hills.
Mount Davidson's most notable feature, aside from its height, is the 103-foot (31.4 m) concrete cross situated on the crest of the hill. It is the site of a yearly prayer service, performed on Easter, when the cross is illuminated.[3]
Mount Davidson Park tops the hill – excluding the land at the summit, which is privately owned. The parkland portion is located between Myra Way (east), Dalewood Way (southwest), and Juanita Way (north). Public transportation is provided by the 36 Teresita Muni line, which stops at the Dalewood Way and Myra Way entrance to the park.
The residential neighborhoods around Mount Davidson Park are Miraloma Park to the east and Westwood Highlands and Sherwood Forest to the southwest.
The first temporary cross was 40 feet (12 m) high, and erected in 1923 for a service led by Dean J. Wilmer Gresham of Grace Cathedral. A second 87-foot (27 m) high cross was built in 1924 and burned down in 1925. In 1929 a 75-foot (23 m) high wood and stucco cross with lighting was built. The same year 20 acres (8.1 ha) at the top of Mount Davidson was purchased by the city of San Francisco for use as a park with funds donated by the Mount Davidson Conservation Committee, led by Mrs. Edmund N. “Madie” Brown.[4] Arsonists burned down the third cross in 1931.

Hiking up Mt. Davidson, Corona Heights and Buena Vista Park - San Francisco, CA
Mt. Davidson (927'), is the tallest mountain peak in San Francisco. It is known as the mountain with the cross on top. If you are a movie buff, you may recall Mt. Davidson's cross from the Dirty Harry movie. Hiking through the green forest with tall trees is such a pleasant experience and you almost forget about the fact you are in the middle of the city by the bay! Views from the top are spectacular in all directions.
Corona Heights....I never noticed the existence of this rocky peak in the city until now. What a shame! Its fantastic....SF downtown vistas seen from Corona Heights are perhaps the BEST of the best, I'd say. Buena Vista Park is also nearby....another beautiful park....so, don't miss it. Watch out for coyotes! I ran into one on the trail.-
Buena Vista Park is located right by Haight Ashbury....San Francisco's iconic district....and named for the spectacular views from its upper slopes. It's also the oldest park in San Francisco, with interconnecting trails through the forest. Blooming flowers are beautiful and the smell of trees and vegetation mystically permeates in the park.

Mt Davidson, San Francisco
The young adults of the SF Central SDA Church went hiking on Mt Davidson last February 28, 2016.
The Dirty Harry Walk -- Mount Davidson -- Part 1 -- San Francisco
Let's do the Dirty Harry Walk-- in this case, let's climb Mount Davidson to the cross where Harry faces Scorpio for the first time in the cash payoff to save the kidnapped girl's life. I know it has nothing to do with the Zodiac Killer per se, but the real life crime spree of that boastful villain helped inspire Dirty Harry. San Fran was sunny this day, July 2, 2013, for the most part, but Davidson was clutched in fog. It blows before the camera and creates a moody feel. This is part 1 of the climb.
