Harry and Billy Goat

Another Glen Park neighborhood hike up from the BART station out to the Noe Valley (north) side. Started up on Diamond to Moffitt, then Moffitt (first pic) to Bemis. 

At the end of the elevated sidewalk lined with cottages (pix 2, 3) on Bemis, just past Addison, Amatista Lane stairway (92 steps, pix 4, 5, 6) climbs from Bemis to Everson past a wild little openspace, now in the Diamond Heights neighborhood. 


Uphill for a turn on Beacon and downhill a short instance for the top of Harry stairway (237 steps) down to Laidley, back down in Glen Park again. Harry’s mostly wood with wood rails with a concrete stretch towards the foot: 7 thru 14. 


From the foot of Harry at Laidley & Noe, chose the upper part of divided Laidley down to 30th Street. A lower Laidley house, pic 15.


Billy Goat Hill Park climbs from 30th (now in Noe Valley) up to Beacon again. 17 steps to start at 30th (pix 16, 17), a winding dirt trail surrounded by sweet-smelling wildflowers and grasses, then more steps to the top of the park: 80 total: 18 thru 35.


Another one of those notice-to-apply-pesticides signs seen, same plant targets as the one in Glen Canyon.

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