This Mount Sutro circle-hike started at Willard and up the 149 Farnsworth steps to Edgewood Ave.: 1, 2, 3
Straight ahead this time instead of south. Behind the homes on Edgewood Ave. is a short trail that leads to a parking lot. Something new here — there’s now an attractive short wood fence at the west slope: 4 thru 8
At the parking lot, passing the top of the 136 steps down, uphill a short distance, across the road and onto the Historic Trail: 9, 10, 11
Winding round: 12 thru 28
Where the Historic meets the lower and upper West Ridge Trail, the upper to the summit. There’s an alternate trail where you can go around the logs and rocks, but I’ve always liked scrambling up the latter: 29 thru 46
The summit was uplifting with wildflowers and green-enclosed trails: 47 thru 61
From the summit on the North Ridge Trail to the road: 62 thru 80
Along the road downhilling back to the parking lot again, but this time descending the 136 Medical Center Way steps, the top of which is a few yards from the top of the trail behind the homes: 81 thru 111
Just before exiting Medical Center Way (behind the hospital buildings) at Parnassus to wait for the crosstown #43 bus: 112
1 Farnsworth Lane up to Edgewood Ave.
