Bernal Skyway

Looking up from a certain part of Bayshore Blvd. there’s a pedestrian skyway that appears to be a skyway art installation. It curves around and you don’t see where it descends to the street. It seems to be suspended in space.

The east Bernal skyway starts at Holladay near Faith.

First it crosses the Bayshore Freeway, then turns right and descends to the west side of Bayshore Blvd. It doesn’t cross the street. 1 thru 16

Back up again, no need to look around for stairs to climb on the hill’s east side — they’ll find you.

Mayflower down nearly to Holladay: 65 steps: 17

Joy up from Holladay, 150 steps: 18 thru 30 (20 thru 25 are THENs of one of the houses from 2005): 

From the wall on Brewster I used to be able to see the Joy houses from here, but now new residences and the Joy slope trees hide them. But at least nothing has been built on the slope across from the Joy homes: 31

105 Esmeralda east stairs: 32 thru 38

View from the east side of Bernal Heights Park: 39

43 Carver former earthquake shacks: 40

Now just below Bernal Heights Park, crossing over for Mayflower, a dirt trail here: 41

29 steps down from Chapman & Mayflower: 42, 43

48 Chapman & Rosenkranz stairs down to Bernal Heights Blvd.: 44 thru 48

More stairs start up from Bernal Heights Blvd. at Nevada: 49

Nevada houses: 50, 51

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