Bridge to Mountain Lake

Starting at the bridge area, west for brief stops at the Presidio's Golden Gate Overlook and Pacific Overlook on the way to the Batteries to Bluffs Trail (474 steps), today accessed from the east trailhead. 

From the west trailhead atop Battery Crosby up to Lincoln, across the street and up the Connector Trail's 208 steps to Immigrant Point Overlook. The log bench on the way up was occupied by a drum-playing dude (second time encountered). 

Around the east side of Rob Hill Campground and down a favorite short trail to Fort Scott. Uphill again on Wright Loop, a residential street, where begins another forested trail I like. Lots of stacked logs around here.

Out at the Park Trail at the top of the golf course. Downhill on the wide, paved trail with the huge golf course on both sides, then a turn to the Mountain Lake Trail and all the way around it. Mountain Lake's water level is way low due to the ongoing remediation and restoration, but still plenty of birds to be seen in the water and on the shore. 

Now playing around with a new camera, a little Pentax, with a wide-angle view feature. Where better to do this than the Batteries to Bluffs Trail… About the pix:

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