Presidio Wildtrails

6/30/2014

1 Comment

 
I’ve enjoyed this short Presidio trail for years, first three pix. It’s nicely overgrown with wild radish, nasturtium and other wildflowers, with lots of blackberry bushes. A narrow, “wilder,” trail is so much more fun and uplifting than a widened, “tamed” trail. This one is near the old church at Fort Scott, coming out at the Log Cabin. 

Another short trail starts near the Fort Scott Community Garden, behind the residences, and climbs to Rob Hill Campground, pic 4.


A slightly longer wildtrail is the one that runs east from the Cemetery Overlook (pic 5) out to the side of the Post Chapel, pic 6. I highly recommend this one for anyone who loves forests. Love the sittin’ logs. Downhill to the east edge, then up another part of it, out at the Cemetery Overlook’s south entrance.   


Mountain Lake’s renovated eastside now has a new bench to replace the old ones. This rustic, newly-built bench’s wood has a delightful aroma, pic 7. But then the whole park smells good.

Batteries to Bluffs Trail (8 thru 23), about 473 steps.

Kite Hill and Eureka Valley

6/29/2014

1 Comment

 
This hike was to visit Kite Hill and a few other attractions in the immediate area alter a long hiatus. First pic: a yard on Clover St.

At Caselli, Clover Street turns into a stairway, Clover Lane, second pic. Thorp is an alley that crosses the steps on the way up. There are 60 steps for the regular stairway up to 19th Street, then across the street 42 more steps continue up to the east side of Kite Hill Park, these last irregular and steeper, making Clover's total 102. 


At the top of the steps is a short but steep trail in the park that leads to a bench, more trails, and nice views, Twin Peaks above to the west, pix 3, 4, 5, 6. This isn’t the only way into the park. Another entrance I especially recommend is from the dead-end of a short street called Stanton.


Had in mind to check out the Acme Alley steps down from the top so exited at the park’s upper entrance, Grandview Terrace, curving round to Grandview Ave. 

Several years ago when I last hiked this area was pleased to see that Acme Alley’s upper block, a stairway, had been extended partway down to Corwin; seemed it would eventually come all the way down to the street. 


Disappointed to see that it has now been blocked off at street level. So this is no longer a through stairway but now a dead-end set of downhill steps. There’s a chainlink fence with wood slats blocking the view up/out to the street; no gate. Pic 7: 

The top part (pix 8, 9) is very attractive still, like it used to be, until it gets about halfway down. Then, though the wood-and-brick stairs are still there, it’s harder to see them due to straggly grasses. Stopped at 50 for the staircount down because it didn’t look like it was through to the street anymore. So why’d they close this one off after such a promising beginning?

There’s both a street sign for Acme and the good-looking handmade sign that used to be there (pic 10). Assumed by now it’d be a striking gardenspot all the way down. Now if I lived there...

Above the Seward Minipark (pic 11) at Corwin is the Corwin Street Community Garden. Alongside the garden is the lower part of Acme Alley, a steep concrete slab that has a dead-end sign at the top and posts to prevent vehicles near the foot, with 10 steps leading from the lower part into the tiny park with its unique double slide, pic 12. 

There are several sets of short stairways in the Seward Minipark area. The one I took was 15 steps down from the elevated Seward St. sidewalk, at the foot of which, just ahead, was the main Douglass stairway near Seward and 20th: 13 thru 16.

There are 94 steps for the main Douglass stairway. Crossing the narrow street at the top, the steps continue: 15 more to an elevated sidewalk (17, 18, 19) that curves around to come out at Romain. There are three sets of 15 steps each along the length of the Douglass upper walk. So Douglass stairway has a total of 109 steps counting just one of the sets of 15 to the elevated walkway.

Back down Douglass to 20th, passing the Collingwood sidewalk steps (both sides) on my way out to Castro to catch the #24 MUNI on its way down Castro Hill. Homes on 20th, pic 20. House on Castro at 20th, last pic.

Stairway Canyon

6/28/2014

2 Comments

 
When hiking San Francisco’s Glen Canyon in early June, discovered a few new stairways, a couple of which were not yet finished. The only one walked then was a short concrete flight up to a new walkway that curves around into the main part of the Canyon, 24 steps up from the playground/tennis courts area. 

A recent Facebook post prompted me to revisit as it looked like maybe these might now be walkable. On the way to the east rim, passed this older one behind the Safeway, first pic.

You can now descend from the edge of Christopher Park. This is where the longest flight (86 steps) used to start my favorite trail down into the Canyon depths. The steps now start from the very edge of Christopher Park and not a short-slidey distance down as before. More steps descend for the trail that continues to the south from the viewbench. Was able to descend a completed 49 steps this time: 2 thru 6. 

However, don’t try this unless you’re very sure-footed, as this new trail renovation wasn't yet completed as of a few days ago. There was a slip-and-slide area with dirt and rocks that should be taken slowly; it’s more difficult to inch down than to climb up. So good to wait a bit longer for the steps to be extended.

Another new wood stairway curves around up to the trail just below Christopher Park. This one’s now walkable: 79 steps up to the short trail that continues out to Amber and Turquoise in the Diamond Heights neighborhood: pics 7, 8, 9

From here, west a couple blocks to get to the stairway that descends from Turquoise: 65 steps to a park trailhead: 10 thru 14.


On to my beloved “blackberry trail.” It crosses Islais Creek and runs alongside a school’s playing field, the gate of which is nearly always locked. Pix 15 thru 20.

A lot of construction and trailwork is still ongoing throughout the park. I continue to be concerned about possible future loss of Canyon floor treelimbs that are such a delight to climb over, sit on, grab hold of, and duck under, being someone who loves my trails as “wild” as possible.


Now on the main Canyon floor trail: 21 thru 25.

Continuing south on this trail and -- Surprise! Three more new stairways are under construction as of this writing. 


The first I noticed starts up between the short boardwalk and the posts that prevent vehicles from entering the main Canyon floor tree-canopy. Pix 26, 27, 28. 


A second flight now under construction starts up from the main trail a little way along: 29, 30.


The third appears to be yet another future stairway. This is further south on the main trail, starting up from where there were already a few steps, then a steep dirt trail. It’s where a tree was recently felled and where there used to be a swing. Pic 31.

So gotta be patient and wait for all these to be completed. Who knows — next time may see even more. 


While they're at it, how 'bout extending that short flight of old wood steps that descends from the Crags Court Community Garden in Diamond Heights down into the Canyon?

Telegraph Hill East

6/9/2014

For this hike up Telegraph Hill from the north side, passed the foot of the Jack Early minipark, a one-way stairway viewplace, at Pfeiffer & Grant, first pic.

Continuing up, passing the foot of the Child stairway (second pic), Lombard to Telegraph Place.

Up to Pioneer Park’s north side, 28 steps from Telegraph Hill Blvd. and Lombard into the park with a paved trail curving around.

52 steps from the midpark paved trail up to the Coit Tower parking lot. This same stairway also continues down to Telegraph Hill Blvd. (pic 3) and from there onto the Greenwich sidewalk steps that descend to Grant, pic 4.

A couple of the old Coit Tower murals (pix 5, 6), these from the main floor where people wait in line for the elevator. 

387 steps for the Greenwich stairway from the east side of Coit Tower’s parking lot down to Sansome. Bricked first, then concrete. 

Upper Greenwich down to Montgomery: 6, 7, 8, 9.


Lower Greenwich below Montgomery, passing the gardens: 10 thru 15.


From the bench just off the main walk/steps (pic 16), there’s a garden trail you can take that leads back up to the main walk, pic 17. 


Down the rest of Greenwich to Sansome: 18, 19, 20.


Over to the Filbert steps now, the next “street” over (south), counted 264 steps for the Filbert from Sansome to lower Montgomery.  

But this isn’t all the steps for Filbert. Didn't go all the way back up this time. 
This eastside stairway continues from lower to upper Montgomery, then the last block climbs to Pioneer Park. There’s another stairway into the park itself when you get to the top of Filbert. Filbert also continues its stairs downhill from the park to Kearny on the westside.  


Filbert’s east stairway starts off as concrete (pic 21), is wood alongside the several old (pre-1906) houses and the gardens: 22 thru 26), then concrete again up to Telegraph Hill Blvd. and the park. This whole area is a huge tourist attraction.

Napier Lane, a short dead-end wood boardwalk, also with pre-1906 cottages (except for one from the 1970s that replaced a teardown cottage), is the first offshoot off the wood Filbert steps: 27 thru 31. Would still love to live here, a longtime favorite.

Darrell Place is the second pedestrian-only walkway offshoot from the Filbert steps below Montgomery. This sign wasn’t there when I lived on Darrell years ago, pic 32. It states in several languages that it's a dead-end.

46 Montgomery Street double stairs, Montague to Green, pic 33.


Foot of the Vallejo steps up from Montgomery, pic 34. Used to live here too, top of the stairs, but before the steep concrete slab was turned into a stairway gardenspot. 

The sidewalk steps on both sides of steep Kearny from Broadway to Vallejo have a separate name: the Peter Macchiarini Steps, last pic.

Harry and Billy Goat

6/8/2014

1 Comment

 
Another Glen Park neighborhood hike up from the BART station out to the Noe Valley (north) side. Started up on Diamond to Moffitt, then Moffitt (first pic) to Bemis. 

At the end of the elevated sidewalk lined with cottages (pix 2, 3) on Bemis, just past Addison, Amatista Lane stairway (92 steps, pix 4, 5, 6) climbs from Bemis to Everson past a wild little openspace, now in the Diamond Heights neighborhood. 


Uphill for a turn on Beacon and downhill a short instance for the top of Harry stairway (237 steps) down to Laidley, back down in Glen Park again. Harry’s mostly wood with wood rails with a concrete stretch towards the foot: 7 thru 14. 


From the foot of Harry at Laidley & Noe, chose the upper part of divided Laidley down to 30th Street. A lower Laidley house, pic 15.


Billy Goat Hill Park climbs from 30th (now in Noe Valley) up to Beacon again. 17 steps to start at 30th (pix 16, 17), a winding dirt trail surrounded by sweet-smelling wildflowers and grasses, then more steps to the top of the park: 80 total: 18 thru 35.


Another one of those notice-to-apply-pesticides signs seen, same plant targets as the one in Glen Canyon.

Three New Stairways

6/7/2014

1 Comment

 
Actually I’ve discovered four new stairways in Glen Canyon Park so far. The fourth is the 24 steps (first pic) that lead to a walkway (second pic) in the south part of the park from the playground and tennis courts area.

The three wood ones aren’t yet completely walkable. When these unfinished stairways are completed will do staircounts ’n pix for each. 

Glen Canyon is a six or so block walk from the Glen Park BART station. Over Bosworth at the Lippard skyway, pic 3, passing the Burnside stairway from Bosworth down to Paradise, pic 4. 

The lower Canyon is the place to find plenty of damselflies. Butterflies too; and birdsong.

From the Canyon floor just past the boardwalk, took the 61 steps up alongside the stairway on the south side, the one that still has that annoying black fencing all along its length, tall grasses and wildflowers now on the other side, pic 5.

This was to check on a favorite trail to see if it was still there; it is. Had earlier noticed an area surrounded by more of that black fencing, but whatever this is turned out to be below the aforementioned trail. 

This trail (pic 6) passes under some trees and eventually curves up to Christopher Park at the Canyon’s east rim next to the Diamond Heights Shopping Center. 


Continued up the trail, noticing ahead two new partly constructed wood stairways winding down from the uppermost trail that’s just below Christopher Park. Looks like they’ll merge at the main trail: 7 (north), 8, 9 (south).

Last time I was here, the steps of the old main stairway, the park’s longest, that steeply descended into the canyon from its east edge had been removed. There are now some new steps that start down, but I hit an orange-plastic-fenced dead-end. As of this post one can’t go up this way to get to Christopher Park (pix 10, 11). Will check back in a month or so. Steps may actually start at the edge of Christopher Park now instead of a little way down. 

Down the stairway on the north side of the climbing rocks (68 steps: 12 thru 19) and back into the lower Canyon, moving north: 20, 21. 


Up to a higher trail, pic 22. Between the two trails that descend to the Canyon floor from here, noticed this sign re notice to apply “pesticides” (pic 23). 


Upon crossing the creek on the way to the northern trail I like, the black fencing was still there. This delightful berrytrail (24, 25) has been cleared a bit more since my last visit but still hits an impenetrable tangle just past the end of the school playing field’s chainlink fence. A park infosign states that a trail extension is planned out to Portola and up Twin Peaks. Hoping they’ll leave us hikers some treelimbs to step over, reach up to, sit on, and duck under. 

Out of the park on the old wood stairway up to Elk (38 steps, pic 26), crossing over onto Sussex at Diamond Heights Blvd. in upper Glen Park, a favorite neighborhood. 

Sussex & Van Buren, pic 27.


Ohlone Way, a short alley from Sussex down to Surrey, pic 28. 


Onto Lippard from Surrey, in front of a house here is this new attraction: pic 29.

Lands End Secret Trails

6/1/2014

1 Comment

 
Winding up through the forest to the Fort Miley area (pix 1, 2, 3), visited the boarded-up old octagon house, partially covered with graffiti (pic 4), including this interesting one on the north side (pic 5). 

Down the first 19 steps (pix 6, 7) from the west side of the VA Hospital parking lot to a short trail I’ve long claimed as my own. More steps will take you down to the Fort Miley buildings near the picnic area. 

Over to the top of the sandy zigzag trail to descend to the west trailhead for the El Camino del Mar Trail that’s accessible from the upper parking lot overlook: 8 thru 13. Passed the connector steps between the El Camino and the main Lands End/Coastal Trail, pix 14, 15.

The El Camino del Mar Trail’s footbridge is a good place to check for berries, pic 16. 

46 steps up to the Legion of Honor parking lot’s west edge (17, 18, 19). Onto a golf course sidewalk and around to another trail, one you wouldn’t realize was there unless you were already familiar with it. This short, “secret,” trail descends, at times steeply, alongside lots of blackberry bushes and can be seen well from the steps. 

It meanders out to partway down the eastside stairway (120-ish steps: 20 thru 28). 

Moving east on the Lands End Trail towards Eagles Point: pic 29. 

The renovated Eagles Point Overlook area at the park’s east trailhead now has a lot more of that new-plantings netting since my last visit, running down below the trail to a viewspot where people used to like to perch. Now they can’t.

Top of the Lincoln Park Golf Course stairway on the east side, down to the west dead-end of California Street near 32nd Ave. in the Outer Richmond neighborhood, last pic, about 52 steps.
