Located at the threshold of Golden Gate Canyon, I can get in a hike of 4.5 miles in a little over two hours, with an elevation gain of almost 1,000 feet. I prefer it as a weekday morning hike because this hike attracts a lot of folks on weekends, and there are only 27 parking spaces at the trailhead.
