Another favorite duney stairway near Ocean Beach (and Lands End) on the south side of Sutro Heights Park, the Balboa natural area steps: 120, log - similar to the other beach “sand ladders.”
First, though, for the viewspot in the main part of Sutro Heights Park: 21 steps up, pix 1, 2.
Viewplace: 3, 4.
35 down the south side with the garden wall: 5, 6, 7, 8.
On the southeast side of the main park is a trail to the “wilder” area, including the steps that descend to Balboa Street (between 48th Avenue and Great Highway, up from Ocean Beach): 9, 10.
Balboa stairs: 11 thru 24.
