A good, vigorous west-to-east on the Land’s End/Coastal Trail, starting with the 127 Sutro Ruins-view steps that descend from the lower parking lot overlook. Pix 1 thru 5.
Over to the cavetop viewplace (pic 6) and the westernmost edge of the Coastal Trail, here AKA Sutro Baths Upper Trail: 142 steps: 7 thru 15.
Continuing east on the main trail (16, 17), passing the foot of the upper parking lot overlook steps (about 57); the foot of the connector steps (pic 21, about 89) that ascend to the El Camino del Mar Trail; then the top of the Mile Rock Beach stairs (262 or so steps down to the beach: 19, 20, 21).
About halfway along: the 138-step "Painted Rock" stairs up the west side, pix 22 thru 26; then 119-ish more steps down the east slope: 27 thru 33.
Continuing out on the east side, last pic.
This time detoured from my usual route at the east end of the main trail as Lincoln Park's 52 wide steps are in the process of being transformed into San Francisco's fourth tiled stairway. This is gonna be so gorgeous.
