Hoofin’ it over to the Golden Gate Heights ‘hood from the Forest Hill Metro Station, Mount Sutro eye candy as seen from the Forest Hill neighborhood on the way up, first pic.
Now in Golden Gate Heights, the first long one climbed was the delightful east Aerial stairway (117 steps), again with Mount Sutro’s westside across: 2 thru 6.
193 + 12 = Aerial’s west slope: 205 steps total down the west side: 7 thru 13.
Ortega, 14th down to 15th Ave. = 148 steps: 14, 15.
Back up via Mount Lane, 15th to 14th = 161 steps: 16, 17, 18, 19.
And at the top of this, more eye candy = Rocky Outcrop Park as I wind around on 14th: pic 20.
Grand View Park above: 144 steps for its westside zigzag stairs. Pic 21.
Over to the top of the Moraga Mosaic beauty: 163 steps down. Lotsa little blue planting flags seen alongside its upper part this time: 22, 23, 24.
Last, a few blocks over to the top of the Hidden Garden Steps, 148 steps descend to Kirkham: 25 thru 35.
