Beginning a vigorous Mount Sutro circle-hike at Willard, just up from Parnassus, 149 Farnsworth Lane steps to Edgewood Ave.: 1 thru 7
Straight ahead (west) from the top of the stairs is a trail behind homes on Edgewood, leading up to the permits-only UCSF parking lot: 8 thru 11
Uphilling south along the road to Johnstone: 12, 13, 14
Passing the trailhead for the East Ridge Trail, now steeply up Johnstone for the Quarry Road Trail: 15 thru 19
Quarry Road Trail to the trailhead for the Historic. You’ll also see a trail to the summit here: 20 thru 30
All along the Historic were many yellow planting flags. Difficult to take pix without them showing up. A lot of clearing and thinning since last visit: 31 thru 65
Five mountain bikers today; four last time.
Pic 66 is from a 2007 group hike to introduce the public to the upper Historic. It’s not currently used as part of the trail now: 67
Back down to the road: 68, 69
Down to the parking lot for the top of the 136 steps “hidden” behind UCSF medical buildings: 70 thru 73
