Canyontop Steps

2/28/2015

Steps into Glen Canyon from the beginning of Diamond Heights Blvd. at Sussex & Elk in the Glen Park neighborhood, first pic.

Continuing up along the east edge of the canyon on Diamond Heights Blvd. to Berkeley Way: 2, 3, 4, 5.

Onique Lane, pic 6, has three blocks’ worth of steps. It starts lower down on Berkeley, continues from upper Berkeley (shown here), and up to Topaz.

Continued on Berkeley Way to Crags Court and Crags' dead-end for vehicles where replacement wood steps start down from Crags Court Community Garden. 184 steps wind around to the foot at the main Canyon trail. 

Down one short flight from Crags, a trail to the north would’ve taken me directly to the viewbench, but continued down, 58 steps from Crags, for a second trail heading north (pic 7), including 17 newer steps. Couldn’t yet tell from here if the new steps down from Christopher Park had been completed: 8, 9, 10.

Curving round high up — surprise! This part of the new eastside stairway I’d been waiting for is now walkable: 92 steps for this top section. Didn’t descend into the Canyon depths to check for other new stairways and trail changes this time. 

Especially like the newly added short rustic sections of fence along part of the new steps. Continued up to the beloved bench and from there to Christopher Park: 11 thru 28.

Top of the Canyon at Christopher Park: 29 thru 34.

To be continued. Next up for this hike: atop Billy Goat Hill and Glen Park’s Harry stairway…

Hoofin’ it over to the Golden Gate Heights ‘hood from the Forest Hill Metro Station, Mount Sutro eye candy as seen from the Forest Hill neighborhood on the way up, first pic. 

Now in Golden Gate Heights, the first long one climbed was the delightful east Aerial stairway (117 steps), again with Mount Sutro’s westside across: 2 thru 6. 

193 + 12 = Aerial’s west slope: 205 steps total down the west side: 7 thru 13.

Ortega, 14th down to 15th Ave. = 148 steps: 14, 15.

Back up via Mount Lane, 15th to 14th = 161 steps: 16, 17, 18, 19. 

And at the top of this, more eye candy = Rocky Outcrop Park as I wind around on 14th: pic 20. 

Grand View Park above: 144 steps for its westside zigzag stairs. Pic 21.

Over to the top of the Moraga Mosaic beauty: 163 steps down. Lotsa little blue planting flags seen alongside its upper part this time: 22, 23, 24.

Last, a few blocks over to the top of the Hidden Garden Steps, 148 steps descend to Kirkham: 25 thru 35.

Greenwich Gardenstairs

2/22/2015

0 Comments

 
This is a continuation of a recent Telegraph Hill gardenwalk, this time down the east Greenwich stairway. Descending from the Coit Tower parking lot, the stairs are redbricked to Montgomery, pix 1 thru 9.

Near the foot of the upper Greenwich steps new plantings have been added: 10, 11.

178 steps for upper Greenwich down to Montgomery at Julius Castle: 12, 13.

Counting all the eastside Greenwich steps as one continuing stairway, got 388 total from the Coit Tower parking lot down to the foot at Sansome. 

On the west side of the hill are more Filbert and Greenwich steps.  

Now starting down lower Greenwich below Montgomery: 14 thru 21.

The lower Greenwich steps haven’t always been this garden-y. One of my favorite additions from several years ago was a short pathway off the main stairway with a deck and bench; a chair and table have been added since my last visit: 22, 23, 24.

From here you can continue on the short garden trail for a few yards and come back up to the main walk/stairway: pic 25. 

Gardens above the walk as well: 26, 27, 28, 29. 


Back on the main walkway, pic 30.

The beehives are still here: 31, 32. 

The lower walkway and the rest of the stairs down to Sansome: 33 thru 39.

East Filbert Steps

2/21/2015

0 Comments

 
A recent hike up ’n down the two long Filbert and Greenwich stairways needs to be two separate posts as the whole area is super-photogenic and garden-y.

The Filbert steps are concrete starting up from Sansome at the foot of the hill. First three pix.

Then where the pre-1906 homes start, the stairs are wood up to Montgomery: 4, 5.

From Montgomery they’re concrete again the rest of the way up to Coit Tower. 

Napier Lane, 130 or so steps up, is a short wood boardwalk, the first offshoot from the Filbert steps. I’ve always wanted to live here. Napier: 6 thru 10. 

At the corner of Darrell Place: 230 Filbert, pic 11.   

Darrell (pic 12), a paved walk, is the second offshoot from the Filbert stairs. Continue on Filbert up to Montgomery (pic 13).

You can’t get through to Greenwich, the next stairway over, from Napier or Darrell; they’re dead-ends. 

Montgomery is a divided street (14, 15, 16: divider stairs). Up these steps to continue on Filbert to Telegraph Hill Blvd. 

Filbert between Montgomery and Pioneer Park on the east side of the hill: 17 thru 21.

There are 384 eastside Filbert steps in all, Sansome to Telegraph Hill Blvd.

At the top of the steps, a separate stairway to the right climbs into Pioneer Park from the street: pic 22.

Directly across from these steps, there’s a fenced vacant space where a few old houses were demolished in 1999: 23, 24, 25, 26. The Filbert steps continue down the west side of the hill from the street. 

29 steps to the first paved walk with bench; 64 total for the south steps up to the base of Coit Tower.

The south side of Pioneer Park: 27 thru 34.

Inside Coit Tower, you’ll now see white cards with detailed explanations at the foot of each of the mural sections in the lobby. The first floor artworks are of California businesses and city scenes. This one, pic 35, is titled “California.” 

Last pic: Above the door to the lobby gift shop. 

The 27 murals were painted around 1934. It doesn’t cost anything to walk around on this first floor to view them and you can take photos. 

You can buy a ticket to ascend an elevator for viewing the themes on the upper levels; they’re leisure/recreational scenes. Several years ago I enjoyed these additional works while on a City Guides tour. I highly recommend City Guides. They’re free; an envelope is passed around at the end of the walk, but you give what you can, no pressure. They don’t charge an arm-and-leg for a walk like some of these orgs do.

Doing the Greenwich stairway descent separately, next post upcoming.

121 Valley Steps

2/19/2015

0 Comments

 
By the time I got uphill to the #52 bus stop on Diamond in the Glen Park neighborhood that had a digital bus-times readout, it said 14 minutes, so being already partway up continued the uphill trek to the top of Farnum (at Addison) at Walter Haas Park. 

There are 35 steps from the little hilltop park up to Diamond Heights Blvd. (first two pix) and a couple blocks to the Diamond Heights Shopping Center. Third pic: Topaz openspace above Diamond Heights Blvd. across the street from the park. Just next door to the shopping center is another park, Christopher, with access into Glen Canyon.

Across from the south edge of the shopping center on Diamond Heights Blvd. at Gold Mine, there’s a dead-end for vehicles, but a convenient way for walkers to get over to 28th at the south dead-end of Douglass, starting the descent into Noe Valley. There are five steps, then a block or so of a walkway between buildings to the top of 28th. This pathway is shown on Google Maps: 4, 5, 6.  

Down steep 28th and a right on Diamond (pic 7) a half block or so for the top of the Valley stairway. 

The slope on either side of the stairs is now considered a “park,” though the new green sign does not indicate a name for the little green openspace, pic 8. 

Thens and Nows for the house at the top of the steps here: 9 (2004), 10 (2003), and 11, 12. 

The steps (69 for the main stairway: 13 thru 17) are shown on Google Maps. It descends to the upper (west) end of divided Valley. Google Maps went to the dead-end for vehicles at the foot of the stairway. You can see the rounded end of the median here that divides upper and lower Valley’s last block. 

To continue on the stairs part of Valley, stay on the north side (pic 18) after you get to the foot of the main steps. You’ll pass a few houses, then there’s a dead-end for vehicles with more stairs to descend, for a total of 121 for Valley partway to Castro. 

Thens and Nows for the area between steps: 2003 and current: 19, 20. 

Looking down at lower Valley from near the north stairway, pic 21. 

The last part of the Valley steps: 22, 23, 24, 25.

The “peekaboo” fence I like is still here, pic 26. Valley near Castro. 

At Castro, if you look to the north you’ll see the Castro steps up ahead; to the south Billy Goat Hill.

Crossed Castro at Valley to descend the few steps for the sidewalk that’s slightly below the street for this block from Castro to Noe (south side). 

Surprise! Hadn’t hiked this area in a while and now whatever used to be here behind that solid wood fence at the corner is gone and there’s a huge hole in the ground with construction ongoing. The stairs to this lower sidewalk are presently blocked. My old pix have always showed the fence at the top of the steps. Pic 27 is from 2003, #28 from 2004, and #29 from 2007. 

The hole: 30 thru 34.  

But I was able to descend the next short stairway over to get to this lower sidewalk (pic 35). 

A couple houses down from the corner-hole, an old home is now being gutted (36 and 37 from 2005 and pic 38 now). Hopefully at least the outside will be saved. The sidewalk was, however, open to continue down to Noe. 

There are several short stairways here (two counted this time had 11 steps each) down from the street.

Pic 39: side of a residence at Noe & Valley. 

Last pic: the “bug house” on Valley just off Noe. Love this!

A bus stop for the #24 Divisadero is at 28th and Noe.

Thru the Broadway Gate

2/3/2015

1 Comment

 
One of my favorite “Gates” into the Presidio is the Broadway entrance. It’s just a few yards over from the top of the Lyon stairs (first pic, 290 steps). The park’s old east wall runs along the length of the stairway. 
 
This east trailhead will take walkers into a hilly forested area (pix 2, 3, 4, 5).  

Rather than follow the main trail to the west, I prefer heading north through the forest into the Simonds Loop neighborhood (6, 7), an eastside favorite. 

Downhill from the forest on Rawles to Simonds Loop, with its 60 brick stairs and walkway … and views (8, 9, 10). This short trail isn't shown on Google Maps (Maps) but the top and foot can clearly be seen on Streetview.

West on lower Simonds Loop at the foot of the steps, crossing Presidio Blvd. over to Liggett to continue down through another forested part (pic 11) to Lover’s Lane. 

Back up Lovers Lane to the south and along part of Andy Goldsworthy’s Wood Line: 12, 13.

Continuing west: 

Above El Polin Spring: pic 14. 

Accessible trail down to El Polin Spring picnic area from the southeast side, pix 15, 16. The older stairway on the south side that I used to descend from the Julius Kahn Park area got covered up several years ago, this trail replacing it. 

El Polin Spring picnic area, pic 17. 


Up the west side to connect with the Ecology trail (whose lower trailhead is just across from Inn of the Presidio’s back patio in the Main Post area): 69 steps. This is one of the newer stairways in the park, pix 18 thru 21, its foot across from the picnic tables. 

The upper Ecology Trail winds around to Inspiration Point Overlook: 22, 23.

Old wood steps at the top of the Ecology Trail ascend to Inspiration Point Overlook (off Arguello): 24, 25, 26. 

Up from Washington near Arguello Blvd. into yet another forested area, the Bay Area Ridge Trail: last pic.

Pacific Heights Stairmasters

2/2/2015

My most recent staircount for Lyon, Pacific Heights’ most popular Stairmaster, was 291, Broadway down to Green. Gorgeous views, alongside the Presidio wall to the east. From here it’s a few yards to an east walkers’ entrance into the park. First four pix.

When you reach Lyon’s foot you can continue east to the next street over, Baker, with its long sidewalk stairway, two blocks’ worth on the east side, Green to Broadway, at 372 steps. I’d forgotten it had so many: 5, 6, 7, 8. The west side from Green to Vallejo also has sidewalk steps. 

Normandie Terrace is between Divisadero and Scott with 42 steps down to Vallejo: 9, 10, 11, 12. 

Alta Plaza Park has 100 steps for its main stairway. It’s between Scott and Steiner W-E and Clay and Jackson south to north. Pix 13 and 14 are side stairways. 

Over to Green: 58 sidewalk steps (not the whole block), Scott down to Pierce, pic 15.  

Now for Fillmore. Starting at Green the east sidewalk stairway is two blocks long: got 192 to Vallejo for the first block and 289 total up to Broadway: 16 thru 23.

One street over is Webster, 149 sidewalk steps up the east side from Vallejo to Broadway: 24, 25.

Back to do the 49 Fillmore west sidewalk steps, Vallejo to Broadway, pic 26. 

This neighborhood is a treat for the senses: views, aromas, different home styles: 27, 28, 29, 30. First three are on Green between Scott & Pierce; the last on Webster near Vallejo.

The Yard Art is Still Here

2/1/2015

It’d been several years since I’d last scrambled up to upper Noe Valley’s tiny Duncan-Castro Openspace viewspot from the northside. First via the eastside 27th St. stairs (38 steps), then continuing from the top of these up the separate old wood stairway (24 steps: first six pix). These two stairways are at the upper (south) side of divided 27th where it meets Newberg & Castro. 

There’s a wall where the first flight of steps starts (pic 7) that used to be decorated with some tiles here and there; now there are none. How 'bout a full tilejob to completely cover this big blank area, or maybe a mural?  


From the top of the wood steps, there’s a short trail leading past the homes, then a steep dirt trail into the park: 8 thru 11. Could definitely use some steps here.


Nearly to the top of the wood stairs on my way to the minipark, could already see the familiar rusty-colored metal yard art at the last house with the blue trim. Glad to see the sculptures still alive 'n well; especially always liked the dragonflies: 12 thru 20.


Duncan-Castro is only .05 acre; its southside faces Duncan. This part can be seen on Google Maps, but you can’t see the sculptures on GM.


If you continue east on the elevated walkway (pic 21) from the top of the concrete steps, divided 27th circles round and you’ll come to the top of a third stairway that swoops down to Noe with 98 steps: 22 thru 30.

Down at Noe & Duncan, a fourth stairway. 49 steps for Duncan descend partway to Sanchez: 31 thru 35. The #24 Divisadero bus stops at the top.

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