Kathleen Dodge Doherty

Kathleen Dodge Doherty is a San Francisco-based freelance writer, adventurer, and lover of all things outdoorsy. For over two decades Kathleen has been writing, editing, and reading about San Francisco and its environs; climbing hills, downing burritos, paying too much for coffee, and ferreting out speakeasys in the name of research. She is the author of 'Day and Section Hikes: John Muir Trail,' 'Walking San Francisco,' and has written for Fodors, Lonely Planet, Moon Handbooks, AFAR Magazine, and VIA Magazine. A one-time researcher, developer, and leader of bicycling and hiking tours worldwide, Kathleen largely runs after her kids and jumps in local puddles these days. A swashbuckler at heart, Kathleen is continually surprised by the never-ending treasures of her city by the bay.
