1 Starting down the Batteries to Bluffs eastside stairs

More people on the Marshall’s Beach trail and the beach than expected. Love the rocks. A brief wade, then back up the east side of the Batteries to Bluffs.

The Marshall’s Beach Trail descends from the Batteries to Bluffs. A rocky trail with 47 steps: 7 thru 16

The beach: 17 thru 22

Back up again: 23 thru 37

Battery climbers and Golden Gate Overook stairs on the way back to the second bridge bus stop (for the #28): 38 thru 43

Along Lincoln, looking down at the Batteries to Bluffs Trail from the Pacific Overlook: 1 thru 5

A bit further on, the hilltop just off the trail was shockingly bare. Some trees have been removed and one can now see more of the Batteries to Bluffs not visible from Lincoln before. I’d much rather have the trees instead of the added view. Now there are all these stumps: 6 rhru 11

Above Lincoln, south side: 12

However, as I got closer to the west Batteries to Bluffs trailhead was cheered to discover my favorite old tree from this area had been spared: 13, 14

Westside trailhead for the BTB at Lincoln: 15, 16

If you cross over here, there’s the Connector (208 steps) up to Immigrant Point Overlook and Rob Hill Campground: 17

Descending the Sand Ladder, counted the steps actually felt and/or seen. Tis time got 233 — not counting a pile of logs at the foot remembered from last time: 18 thru 50

West on Baker Beach a short distance for the mini-Sand Ladder. Same staircount, 45, as before: 51 thru 60

Baker Beach, moving west: 61 thru 68
