Steps into Glen Canyon from the beginning of Diamond Heights Blvd. at Sussex & Elk in the Glen Park neighborhood, first pic.
Continuing up along the east edge of the canyon on Diamond Heights Blvd. to Berkeley Way: 2, 3, 4, 5.
Onique Lane, pic 6, has three blocks’ worth of steps. It starts lower down on Berkeley, continues from upper Berkeley (shown here), and up to Topaz.
Continued on Berkeley Way to Crags Court and Crags' dead-end for vehicles where replacement wood steps start down from Crags Court Community Garden. 184 steps wind around to the foot at the main Canyon trail.
Down one short flight from Crags, a trail to the north would’ve taken me directly to the viewbench, but continued down, 58 steps from Crags, for a second trail heading north (pic 7), including 17 newer steps. Couldn’t yet tell from here if the new steps down from Christopher Park had been completed: 8, 9, 10.
Curving round high up — surprise! This part of the new eastside stairway I’d been waiting for is now walkable: 92 steps for this top section. Didn’t descend into the Canyon depths to check for other new stairways and trail changes this time.
Especially like the newly added short rustic sections of fence along part of the new steps. Continued up to the beloved bench and from there to Christopher Park: 11 thru 28.
Top of the Canyon at Christopher Park: 29 thru 34.
To be continued. Next up for this hike: atop Billy Goat Hill and Glen Park’s Harry stairway…
