SAN FRANCISCO
This is a city full of scenic running and walking routes: Crissy Field, the Embarcadero, Golden Gate Park. The latter is a personal favorite, especially on Sundays, when its main thoroughfare JFK Drive is closed to traffic and locals are out in full force—picnicking, inline skating, swing dancing, you name it. I like to start at the entrance on Stanyan Street and Kezar Drive. You’ll pass manicured flowerbeds in front of a white Victorian building called the Conservatory of Flowers, and then you’ll see the de Young Museum tower peeking above eucalyptus trees. Keep going, and you’ll pass Rainbow Falls and then the small Spreckels Lake buzzing with model boats. When you come to a herd of bison, you’re almost to the Dutch Windmill, the last landmark before the path dead ends at windy Ocean Beach. It’s a glorious finale, and you can always Uber back.

Caroline Jewell CONCIERGE, THE ST. REGIS SAN FRANCISCO
Q: What's your advice for guests who are headed to a Giants game?
A: Make sure to bring along something warm to wear, especially for night games. It can get chilly should the fog and accompanying wind decide to roll in early. Fans can arrive two hours before first pitch to catch some batting practice. Before entering, take a walk around the exterior of the stadium to view the player plaques, enjoy the scenery and take a picture next to one of the four Giants Hall of Fame players statues positioned nearby.

lectable food is available in abundance, but don’t miss the garlic fries. Q: Do you have any tips for visiting the zoo?
A: Parking is usually available in the neighborhood if you wish to drive, but you can take
the Muni L-Taraval line from any stop on Market Street for the approximately 45-minute trip to the end of the line. Make sure to pick up a zoo key to activate the animal story boxes located throughout the grounds. Visit the zoo website beforehand to plan your route using the map and find out when animal feedings will be taking place (always a highlight). The Children’s and Insect zoos will thrill the kids, along with a ride behind Little Puffer, a 100-year-old steam train. Also, don’t miss the spectacular gardens onsite.
Q: Describe your favorite summer day trip.
A: Catch Interstate 280 out of the city, and then cut over on Route 85 to Saratoga Avenue to connect with Big Basin Way/Highway 9 toward Santa Cruz. Take some time winding along this mountain pass to appreciate the majestic stands of some of California’s most impressive redwood trees. In Santa Cruz, plan some time for fun at the beach boardwalk, with rides including the wooden Giant Dipper roller coaster that debuted in 1924.

THE EXHIBIT “Sophie Calle Missing” at Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture (June 29-Aug. 20) presents for the first time in the United States five of Sophie Calle’s most prominent projects in four venues across the waterfront campus. Calle is a French conceptual artist, writer, photographer and installation artist whose work is often autobiographical and combines image and text. Her work has been exhibited around the world since the 1970s, and she’s taught at European Graduate School in Switzerland as well as Mills College in Oakland, California. Curated by the local art-commissioning nonprofit Ars Citizen, “Missing” is a kind of retrospective of the artist’s work since the 1980s. The featured works address the themes of disappearance, rupture, abandonment and loss and incorporate a variety of mediums. 16

lemur habitat in the country. In August 2016, the zoo welcomed a pair of Coquerel’s sifakas, an endangered species of lemur found only in rainforests on the island of Madagascar. You might recognize Coquerel’s sifakas from the animated film “Madagascar” or the PBS kids television program “Zoboomafoo.” These primates can leap up to 30 feet to move from tree to tree, and unlike most lemurs, they also walk on the ground on two feet, using their arms to balance. The two lemurs at the San Francisco Zoo—Karen and Neil—live in a habitat constructed specifically for them that includes a Baobab tree climbing structure along with other plants native to Madagascar.

A Penchant for San Francisco The Giants star outfielder on life in San Francisco, both on and off the field By Zachary Clark
PHOTO CREDIT GOES HERE
FOR SAN FRANCISCANS and baseball fans around the country, Hunter Pence needs no introduction. The Giants outfielder is one of the most recognizable players in the game, celebrated as much for his outstanding play as how he plays—everything from that unorthodox batting stance to those rousing speeches he made throughout the 2014 postseason. Pence’s unique combination of speed and power and the contagious energy he brings to every game have helped propel the Giants to two World Series victories since he joined the team in 2012. And Pence, who lives not far from AT&T Park, doesn’t just love playing for San Francisco, he loves living here. Pence talks about his connection to the city, where he might go for coffee and how he spends his time between games.

The Embarcadero—I ride my scooter up and down it—and the Bay Bridge are just a taste of the heavens to me... the air and water, just seeing all the lights and ships. You played in Houston and Philadelphia before coming to San Francisco. What’s different about playing here? San Francisco is a spectacular place to live: the views, our ballpark. I feel like I fit in in San Francisco. I feel at home here. And I feel like the city just gets better and better. It’s tough to go other places because it’s so beautiful here and there’s so much to do. Favorite views? The Embarcadero—I ride my scooter up and down it—and the Bay Bridge are just a taste of the heavens to me. That whole ride down the Embarcadero: the air and water, just seeing all the lights and ships. Are you often recognized when walking or scooting around town? I’m recognized some. It’s usually like ‘What’s up Hunter?’ or ‘Good luck today’ or a high five. It’s always a good time to say ‘hey’ to the fans or whoever you’re passing by. Definitely good vibes. Does it ever get to be too much? No, not even close. They’re very kind to us, and it’s very humbling to be supported that way. You feel very fortunate. I’m very grateful. I really just love it.
THE OUTFIELDER
(From top): Pence’s positive energy has been a motivator for teammates and fans since he joined the team; his range, arm strength and accuracy have made him one of the top right fielders in the game.

Has the Bay Area influenced you culturally? I definitely think it’s influenced me a lot: the acceptance vibe, the creativity, the gofor-it attitude. I feel like there’s a very big fun factor with Giants fans and creativity. Fans get into different signs and costumes and nicknames. They really deck out when they come to games and that just makes for this wild, creative, fun atmosphere.
Favorite spots around town? Mazarine is one of my favorite coffee spots. And Four Barrel Coffee is really good. B Star is a good restaurant. We also order a lot of Bowl’d Acai. You’re known for your strict Paleo diet. Has your diet changed since coming to the Bay Area? I’ve definitely expanded my awareness of the potential of what’s out there. You can find kale salads almost anywhere. Just fresh, organic, free-range stuff. I’m not doing Paleo right now, just gluten-free. I don’t always make it, but that’s the goal. What makes you nervous these days? Not too much. The last time I was really nervous was a couple years ago before I proposed to my now-wife. I was pretty nervous before that. Where do you take family or friends when they visit? Epic Steak brings me home to American food. That’s where we had our wedding reception. I also like Kokkari. I’ll also recommend going to Muir Woods. What do you do on a typical day off? Do you follow baseball? Relax. Nothing too crazy. Drink some good coffee in the morning. Maybe watch a movie. Read. I don’t really follow baseball on off days, because we follow it all day here every day. I don’t turn the TV on that much. I’m either video or card gaming or coffee shopping. Do you like your portrayal in video games? They’ve done me well on those games

lately. They put the green lizard-skin tape on my bat and everything. It’s pretty sweet. Your most memorable plays? I guess my triple where the bat broke, and it hit off my bat a few times. And the catch in the outfield against [Jayson] Werth. Maybe the home run in game one against Kansas City, too. What’s the most surprising thing in your locker? My coffee mug and gladiator helmet are the two coolest things. “Gladiator” is one of my favorite movies. [Michael] Morse bought it for me. Do you keep up with other Bay Area teams and players? Absolutely, all of them. I’m a huge Sharks
fan, and a Warriors and 49ers fan. I never met Navorro Bowman, but I always liked him. You know who comes here a lot? Kevin Durant. He’s a big baseball fan. I’ve gotten to talk to him a few times. He’s probably my number-one favorite. He comes down to the clubhouse sometimes.
THE SWING
Pence’s swing is like no other in baseball. His characteristic long stride often leaves him in a pose as unusual as his batting stance.
How does the variety of personalities affect the team? It’s good to have some characters. It keeps it fresh; keeps it loose. I enjoy everyone letting his personality shine. Johnny Cueto is one of the most unique guys. I definitely recommend following him on Instagram because it’s amazing. I love it. Do you think you’ll stay in the Bay Area after you retire from baseball? I love it here. So I’ll definitely be around, that’s for sure.

WILD AND DIVERSE, MENDOCINO could be appreciated as a quick getaway from San Francisco or as an extended, epic summer road trip (at nearly 4,000 square miles, the county is bigger than Delaware). We explore the area's three defining landscapes: coastline, redwood forest and wine country.
Along the Coast A portion of scenic Highway 1 leads drivers along the Mendocino shoreline. Point Arena-Stornetta coastal preserve, protected as the newest portion (and the only landbased segment) of the California Coastal National Monument, lies near the starting point. These two miles of untouched coastline contain hiking paths, picnic spots, the Point Arena Lighthouse and prime spots for whale and seal spotting. At nearby Bowling Ball Beach, low tide reveals spherical sand-
stone formations millions of years in the making arranged in striking chains. About halfway up the Mendocino coast is the artsy town of Mendocino with a population of less than 1,000. Stroll the bluff-top coastal trails running parallel to its downtown and go inland to browse the shops and galleries. Unwind with an artisanal cocktail at the Victorian-era MacCallum House’s small bar or stop for fish and chips at Patterson’s Pub, which locals consider the best in the county. The Mendocino Music Festival (July 8-22) brings genre-spanning concerts to a massive white tent pitched right on a cliff overlooking the Pacific. If you’re up for an adventure, rent a kayak or canoe to get up close to the wildlife (River otters! Harbor seals! So many birds!) on the lazy 8.3-mile Big River estuary, which flows into the Pacific just to the south

of town. For dinner with a waterfront view, book a table at the Little River Inn Restaurant’s main dining room, where repeat diners start with an order of the Dungeness crab cakes and end with the olallieberry cobbler (we recommend the bouillabaisse in between.) Continue up the coast to the little city of Fort Bragg, home to the only coastal botanical garden on this continent, the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens. Follow the paths winding through its 47 acres of forest, canyons and bluffs where rhododendrons, camellias, dahlias, magnolias, succulents, begonias and conifers flourish. In town, order a homemade candy cap mushroom cone at Cowlick's Ice Cream. The California Western Railroad, nicknamed the Skunk Train, is headquartered at Fort Bragg, carrying passengers on the same Redwood Route that it’s followed since 1885. The train got its name in the 1920s from the powerful fumes produced by its motorcars, fueled by gasoline and heated with crude oil. On the city’s headlands, follow the new Noyo Headland Fort Bragg Coastal Trail loop, winding from rugged ridge tops with majestic views down to sandy beaches. The property was blocked from the public for the more than 100 years that it was used as a lumber mill site.
COURTESY VISIT MENDOCINO
Into the Redwoods If you’ve dreamed of wandering among California’s famous soaring ancient redwood trees, head inland toward Mendocino’s wilderness. Deep in the Coast Range at remote Montgomery Woods State Natural Reserve you’ll find yourself surrounded by some of the world’s oldest living things. Their hushed, noble presence is humbling. A two-mile loop takes hikers through lush fern forests to grove after grove of coast redwoods (one rises over 367 feet) that survived both wildfires and the 1800s logging frenzy. For a longer walk, follow the 3 miles of the shady and scenic Shakota Trail on Lake Mendocino’s western shore, alternating between looking up to spot bald eagles and gazing down to appreciate the abundant wildflowers. Ukiah might be Mendocino’s largest town, but its population only clocks in at
16,000. The rich surrounding farmland supports small organic operations, and Mendocino Brewing Company runs a largescale facility in town (taste the local fruit at the Ale House). Named for the number of Buddhas in its temple, the community known as City of Ten Thousand Buddhas welcomes visitors to its vegetarian café and gardens. Experience Ukiah’s legacy of hydrotherapy at the natural springs hidden in its redwood forests. The Pomo tribe used them for thousands of years before European settlers came across them in the 1800s and marketed them as a retreat for city dwellers. Day passes are available for soaking in the carbonated, alkaline waters of Vichy Springs Resort, a California Historical Landmark, and in the secluded, clothing optional waters of Orr Hot Springs.
Down in the Valley Highway 128 winds through Anderson Valley wine country, tunneling through old-growth redwoods and passing rolling vineyards and green hills dotted with grazing sheep and faded barns. The valley is so isolated that starting in the 1800s, one of its towns developed its own linguistic jargon called Boontling. It’s no surprise that the vibe is casual at the many tasting rooms lining the route. At the unassuming Lula Cellars, you’ll likely be greeted by Honey the dog and served by Jeff Hansen, the winemaker himself. At Roederer Estate, the French Champagne house Louis Roederer’s foray into California sparkling wine, you can savor a tasting on a patio overlooking the manicured grounds. Pinot drinkers should stop at Toulouse Vineyards & Winery, semihidden in the forest despite its location on the highway. On a hot day, you’ll find locals at the Hendy Woods State Park swimming hole. (Cars parked along the highway often signal an unmarked swimming spot nearby.) Continuing south, Pennyroyal Farm hosts tastings of its goat and sheep cheese, and at Anderson Valley Brewing Company, you can buy a six-pack and stick around to play a round on the 18-hole disc golf course. There's no need to rush in Mendocino.

Go off the beaten tourist track on rides of 9-18 miles to areas where the locals work and live, like the Richmond, SoMa and the city’s most highly trafficked bike route, The Wiggle. 370 Linden St., 415.448.7673.

WHERE IN SAN FRANCISCO
We’re addicted to ice cream
For more great ice cream in the city visit wheretraveler.com

WHE RE I J U LY 2017
Swenson’s I live a couple blocks from this Hyde Street shop. The marble chocolate is my all-time favorite flavor. Sydney Pfaff, owner, Legion boutique, @legion_shop
Cream Late-night vegan ice cream sandwiches in the Mission. Margaux Lushing, founder, Well + Away guidebooks, @wellandaway
Mitchell's Ice Cream A family-owned ice cream shop since 1953—true old-school San Francisco! Classic and creative flavors are made on the premises. Michael Lagau, owner, Bin 415 Private Tours, @bin_415
Humphry Slocombe I call their bourbon-y Secret Breakfast flavor
with corn flake cookies the “mic drop” of all ice creams. Marcia Gagliardi, restaurant columnist, Table Hopper, @tablehopper
Souvla Frozen Greek yogurt with baklava crumbles! Kina Zoerb, photographer and attorney, @thesamekz
Mr. and Mrs. Miscellaneous I enjoy this smaller
producer in the Dogpatch. Try a chocolate peanut butter malt ball while you're there. Avital Ungar, owner, Avital Tours, @avitaltours
Garden Creamery This is my family's newest obsession. They offer flavors that you can't find anywhere else. Freedom Rains, executive chef, A Mano, @freedom_rains
©FRANKENY IMAGES
Here in San Francisco, you’ll see people waiting outside in long lines for ice cream year-round, even when the weather is foggy and chilly (common July conditions around here). Local influencers weigh in on where they satisfy their summertime cravings for something cold and sweet.
