BioPharma Networking Hike: Bernal Heights Park
Traverse Bernal Heights Park for 360° degree views of the city.
After the hike, we will grab snacks/drinks in Bernal and find a picnic table in Holly Park. [A Big Thanks to Kathleen, a fellow hike leader, for the tips on Food options and insight into the area]
Make it a day in SF with these free events:
