This is a video of the entire San Francisco Cable Car ride on the Powell-Hyde Line in 2009.

The Ride starts near downtown San Francisco Union Square on Powell Street, and ends up at Aquatic Park, near Ghirardelli Square, and walking distance to Fisherman's Wharf.

You have the option to ride standing up at the edge of the cable car, and be a few inches from oncoming cable cars. You do encounter some very steep hills and it can be an interesting experience for those who are not used to it.

Songs:
1. San Francisco (Flowers in Your Hair) [Flower Child Song of 60s] -- Scott McKenzie
2. We Built This City -- Jefferson Starship
3. On a San Francisco High -- Sony Holland

Some sites seen along the ride:
1. Powell Street Cable Car Station
2. Union Square
3. Westin St. Francis (by Union Square)
4. Sir Francis Drake Hotel
5. Some Victorian Architecture
6. Other oncoming Cable Cars
7. Chinatown Public Library
8. Top of Lombard Street ("Crookedest Street")
9. Coit Tower
10. Alcatraz
11. San Francisco Bay
12. Golden Gate Bridge

  • Thanks for putting this on YouTube. I'm planning a trip and found your video helpful. Perfect time of day for your video; light enough for clear visual, yet dusk enough to give business neon lights pop. nice.
