​Starting from Nob Hill, diagonally east across to Telegraph Hill. First Joice, 67 steps, Pine partway up to California. The altar, halfway up, has been there for years. First four pix. 

Utilitarian stairways (both sides) down from the Stockton Tunnel, California to Stockton in Chinatown. About 40 steps: 5, 6

Hang Ah, a Chinatown alley between Clay & Sacramento, Waverly & Stockton, two of several tile-art plaques on a building: 7, 8

Past the Beat Museum on Broadway and up the first long one, Broadway to Vallejo, the Peter Macchiarini Steps. Kearny is the steep street in the middle; so steep it’s not thru for vehicles at Vallejo, but cars are able to access it partway up from Fresno: 9, 10, 11  

From here, continuing uphill on Vallejo to the top of the 97 Vallejo steps. Used to live here (pic 12), top of the stairs. Here’s how the steep concrete center slab used to look when I lived there: a THEN, pic 13, 1970s, and NOWS: 14, 15, 16 

Up from the foot of the Vallejo stairs, 49 for Montgomery partway to Union: 17, 18, 19

Filbert east, Sansome to Pioneer Park, 380 steps: 20 thru 34

Pioneer Park: 35, 36, 37

The gardeny Greenwich stairs just north of Filbert, 386 steps from Sansome to the east side of the Coit Tower parking lot: 38 thru 48

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