Full description

Delve into the neighborhood's past, which was far from glamorous a century ago when Eureka Valley was known as the city's outskirts, where Market Street ended, and cows grazed freely. Explore relics from the 1850s and discover the churches that served the 1890s Irish community, offering insights into the neighborhood's early days.

As you explore the streets, you'll uncover the remarkable revival of areas that were once abandoned in the 60s but breathed new life into the 70s by the flourishing LGBTQ+ community. This tour takes you off the beaten path, unveiling hidden treasures such as secret staircases, concealed concrete slides, secluded gardens, and a distinctive podium with a missing statue.

The journey culminates at the peak of Corona Heights, where you'll explore the lesser-known but captivating Randall Museum. Consider the museum's free entry a well-deserved reward for conquering this fourth and final climb!

Exploring Eureka Valley on the Four Peaks tour was like stepping back in time. The guide shared captivating stories from the 1850s, and the revival in the 70s by the LGBTQ+ community was inspiring.
