Mountain Lake to Batteries to Bluffs

Just off the Presidio's Mountain Lake Trail is a locked gate with an opening wide enough to squeeze through. First three pix: A short, unimproved narrow trail between the main trail and the golf course. Back to the main paved walk around the lake. The lake area is still being worked on, but all of the main trail is walkable as of this writing. The new Mountain Lake Park restrooms are nearly completed.

Under the highway overpass to the other side of Park Presidio Blvd. to climb the Marine Cemetery Vista steps (103 steps), pics 4 and 5, for a bite to eat and serene dunes-view at the overlook before heading up Rob Hill to Immigrant Point Overlook for the Connector Trail's 208 steps that descend to Lincoln, pix 6, 7, 8.

Directly across Lincoln is a short, sandy trail down to Battery Crosby (9th pic). The west trailhead for the Batteries to Bluffs Trail is atop the battery. 

Tenth pic: Starting down the west side, fog partially covering the bridge in the distance.

Pix 11, 12, 13, 14, 15: Continuing east along the Batteries to Bluffs (473 steps).

Pix 16, 17, 18: To secluded Marshall's Beach, with trail and steps down from the Batteries to Bluffs.

Connect your second jumper wire between the negative terminal of the second battery and the positive terminal of the third battery.

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