"It works. I mean I was absolutely willing to put my own impulses aside and follow Dalmas' string of associations. In the end it's Dalmas' eccentricities—his eschewing of authority and narrative continuity in favor of a personally inflected, patch-work construction of place that gives [the tour] it’s power."

"It's really quite magical... as though you're being whispered a secret."

What is it?
A unique way to experience Golden Gate Park, a strange way to spend an afternoon. This audio tour of Golden Gate Park begins at Fulton and Stanyan, just at the northeast tip of the park, and proceeds to weave its way down into the park's depths. You will be navigated by your guide down hillsides, through fields, into caves and across ravines while you hear the stories, encounter the creatures and discover the mysteries that haunt our fair park. Where is the feral cat colony? What is in those large green boxes? Who stole the stones from the spanish monastery? Can I eat that? Do people really assemble here at night? Why do I feel so unusual? What is that in the bushes? Are coincidences merely chance events? Or is it somehow all connected? Will I ever make it home? And will my home even be there to return to?

How do I take it?
The tour begins at the intersection of Fulton and Stanyan streets in San Francisco, right at the entrance to Golden Gate Park. You can take the tour any day you want, any time you want! But we recommend starting it at least couple hours before sunset so you don't get caught in the dark. Once you have downloaded the tour, just load it into an MP3 player or burn it onto a CD for a discman, go to Fulton and Stanyan, and press play. It's that easy! Give yourself 90 minutes to complete the tour.
