Just to the east of the bridge, all the Battery East Trail is walkable again, including the small picnic area down the short but steep slope and the low-overhead tunnel (pix 1 thru 6). Concerned about this unique little tunnel because of all the ongoing park changes.
Continuing onto the paved walkway that curves around to the stairway: 7 thru 11.
153 steps for the Battery East Trail’s wood steps down to the west edge of Crissy field, the Warming Hut, and the road to Fort Point: 12 thru 16.
Up the stairs again and onto the trail between two vehicle streets that takes one from the Battery East Trail viewplaces out to Crissy Field Overlook: 17, 18, 19, 20.
Crossing the footbridge (pic 21), down alongside the stables (no hosses seen this time), and up the meandering Park Trail (22 thru 26) to climb the 98 wood steps that wind thru the forest to the Cemetery Overlook.
Stairs up from Park Trail to the overlook: 27 thru 36.
Trailhead for the east trail from the overlook to the Post Chapel, last pic.
