Photo of the Week

Photo: Golden Gate Park, San Francisco
Spanning 1,000 acres (404.7 hectares), Golden Gate Park is one of the country's largest urban parks. Cherry trees pictured here brighten the park's Japanese Tea Garden, a San Francisco haven since 1894. "The park has an endless collection of trails," Tom Downs, author of Walking San Francisco, told Traveler's Andrew Nelson in September 2008's "Authentic San Francisco" article, "leading into small gardens and opening up to places like the Polo Field, where the 1967 Human Be-In started the Summer of Love."

Read more in "Authentic San Francisco" in the September 2008 issue of National Geographic Traveler.
