49 Mile Scenic Drive, Fisherman's Wharf
The famous 49 Mile Scenic Drive in San Francisco was dedicated on September 14, 1938 by flyer Douglas 'Wrong Way' Corrigan. The Drive was the inspiration of the Downtown Association to highlight San Francisco's beauty and potential for commerce. The actual route has been changed a couple times over the years and today it begins and ends at City Hall. The Drive will take you past many of the city's most historic buildings, sites, vistas, and neighborhoods, and will take you about four hours if you don't stop along the route. Since 1955 the path of the 49 Mile Scenic Drive has been marked by the iconic blue and white seagull signs designed by local artist Rex May.
