Powell-Hyde Cable Car
The journey is the destination on this hilly line, with the Golden Gate Bridge popping in
and out of view. Hop off the cable car atop zig-zagging Lombard St to see priceless pine-
framed panoramas at Sterling Park. This is the front yard of resident billionaire and Oracle
CEO Larry Ellison, but it's named after penniless poet George Sterling - poetic justice, in-
deed.
Powell-Mason Cable Car
Powell-Mason's ascent up Nob Hill feels like the world's longest roller-coaster climb.
Leap off before the Fisherman's Wharf terminus to find your fortune (cookie) in Chin-
atown, explore North Beach's pizza possibilities or glimpse Diego Rivera murals at San
Francisco Art Institute.
