March Sutro

Mount Sutro’s summit next to the concrete benches is now beautifully green with the usual springtime grass, but I'd hoped to see more wildflowers. There's been some clearing nearby with lots of those planting flags around.

Wish they’d do more to encourage my favorite wildflowers  yellow Oxalis, California poppies, yellow mustard flowers, wild radish blossoms, dandelions, and other wild blooms up here.

Noticed a trail closure where the East Ridge Trail meets the trail fork going up, then again at the East Ridge summit trailhead where they’ve added a few wood benches near the big rock.

First up the north stairway (136 steps): 1 thru 4

Along the road: 5, 6, 7 

East Ridge Trail: 8, 9

East Ridge trailhead at the summit: 10, 11

Sutro's Summit:  12 thru 17

Down the North Ridge Trail: 18 thru 40

Along the road again: 41 thru 45

Sutro Tower from the parking lot (permits only): 46

On the trail behind Edgewood Ave. homes. This trailhead is near the top of the stairway ascended earlier: 47 thru 52

Out at Edgewood Ave. This swing at the top of the Farnsworth stairs has been here a long time: 53

Down the Farnsworth steps (149) to Willard: 54 thru 59

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