Some pix from a recent afternoon at the Presidio's Baker Beach: 1 thru 7.

And three long stairways above... 

First, the infamous Sand Ladder that climbs from the beach to Lincoln Blvd. with about 253 steps: Pix 8, 9, 10.

Next, the nearby Batteries to Bluffs (473-ish steps): 11 thru 20.

Third one, ascending from Lincoln, the Connector Trail to Immigrant Point Overlook, 208 steps: 21, 22, 23, 24.
