OMG the BTB

Today found the Presidio's Coastal Trail below the bridgeviewing area to still be closed with lots of construction around the two future Overlooks (to be completed later this spring). But the Batteries to Bluffs Trail (474 or so steps) is green and wildflowery and with this being a weekend, plenty of hikers and trail joggers up and down its length. Highly recommending the BTB for locals and visitors alike. Bring your camera, but mere photos don't do it justice. First three pix: Taken from/on the Batteries to Bluffs Trail. 

Today's critter sighting was on the short stairway down from Battery Crosby to the sandy trail that winds up to Lincoln (fourth pic): a couple of tiny lizards. One obligingly stopped to pose for a couple of pix (fifth photo). 

At the west trailhead, a gaggle of skateboarders atop Battery Crosby. Crossed Lincoln and continued my climb up the Connector Trail to Immigrant Point Overlook (208 steps), passing a bongo-playing dude on the trail's single bench. 

Looped around, down the short, eucalyptus-scented trail behind Rob Hill Campground to the back of the Fort Scott neighborhood, across the field, and around to the #28 bus stop this time instead of down Battery Caulfield Road as I often do.

That's a wild lookin' lizard. Reminds me of horny toads I would snatch up as a kid when we lived in El Paso, Texas.

Forgot to mention that these photos are fantastic. I love the Golden Gate pic, and the walk with all the blue wildflowers looks very inviting. These are travel brochure quality, very inviting.

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