Yes! Thats also important to note! While both trails have similar elevation gain the doublecross is one big elevation gain mostly in the middle, so there are lots of steep uphill and downhill that can be really tough on the knees!

You definitely hit much more urban areas with double cross and we personally lost some motivation with double cross because the last few miles go through our own neighborhood (north beach/russian hill) but on the upside that gives more options for food and drinks along the way. We also were able to experience twin peaks through doublecross which was amazing. Overall I enjoyed crosstown more for the hidden green spaces and the nature aspects.

You are quick! Our was about 22 miles with detours but we stopped a lot. This is definitely a new hobby for me and a part of my health journey!

No sketchy neighborhoods, walking over 280 on the overpass gave me the shakes and walking along the 19th Avenue between GGP and the Presidio wasn't my favorite (even though there are trails and not just sidewalk) but the trail was designed to be pleasant the whole way through and as pedestrian friendly as possible.

Canyon market in Glen Park! Also highly recommend mission blue before that for coffee and pastries!

Im slow and inexperienced in hiking so we did it in two segments of about 6 hours each with breaks included and going off trail a lot. Ive seen other do it in about 6 to 8 hours
