Damp Forest

The #36 Teresita stops at Mount Davidson Park’s main south entrance (Dalewood & Myra) where a steep trail climbs to the openspace part of the park. Love this trail: forested to start out with a vast view to the east a little way up. First four pix. 

From the openspace part of the mountain: 5 thru 12.

Up the 22 steps for the north openspace stairway: 13, 14. More steps descend to an eastside trail, plc 15.

The 103-foot cross: pic 16. 

Down 22 old wood steps from the north side of the cross, a short trail, then 12 more stone steps to the next main trail down, 17 thru 22.

Up here the trails were damp or muddy, including some actual puddles: pic 23.

Another short stone stairway: pic 24.

Trailing down, enjoying the cool, lush forest: 25 thru 33.

Love the ferns: pic 34.

Dividing this hike into two parts since I took so many fotos this time. More to come.

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