Amatista and Harry

Up Diamond in the Glen Park neighborhood (first pic), climbing past Poppy Lane (its east part dead-ends and is not through to Bemis), to where Moffitt sharp-turns to the right with a few sidewalk steps. 

Moffitt (pic 2) east to Bemis a few blocks, continuing on the elevated sidewalk (14 steps; LOVE this, pix 3 thru 8) to the foot of Amatista Lane. 


Amatista (no street sign, 92 steps) ascends from Bemis alongside Fairmont Plaza, a small wooded park, now with one of those ubiquitous green park-rules signs: 9 thru 12.

At the top of the stairs is Everson St. Pic 13. 


Uphill on Everson a short distance until you see the sign for Beacon/Everson. Turn right on Beacon, continuing past the top of Miguel. You’ll see Twin Peaks seen in the distance.


Harry stairway (237 steps) starts down here, a street sign at the top and bottom. It’s mostly all wood with wood railings; the lower part's concrete, sans rails. 


Harry plunges to Laidley. Love the way the top of this old wood stairway can barely be seen from the street/sidewalk and the way it looks from the top as you stand ready to descend — waaaaay down. Handsome Harry, top to foot: 14 thru 24. 


Harry’s foot is near where Laidley turns into a divided street that comes out at 30th in Noe Valley near the foot of Billy Goat Hill Park. It’s also just across from the south end of Noe, a steepish stretch with interesting homes.

Noe down to 30th in Noe Valley: last four pix.

    I like meandering around on San Francisco's park trails and public stairways, sometimes taking photos, and enjoying nature and the outdoors.
