Named for Caroline Livermore, an important conservationist who worked hard to preserve the beautiful Angel Island, Mt. Livermore is the highest point on the island, and from its summit there is an amazing 360 degree view of the city of San Francisco and the Bay Area. From the trailhead at Ayala Cove, hiking to the summit of Mt. Livermore is about a six mile round trip. There are two trails that visitors can take to the top: The Sunset Trail, which is easy and grounded, with spectacular views of San Francisco, and the North Ridge Trail, which is much more rugged and natural, and will take hikers among lizards, oak trees, and twisting pathways.
