Priest

For this upper Nob Hill hike, a visit to the Priest stairway. It’s on Washington between Leavenworth and Jones and on the cable car line.

Last visit the railings were wood and a tad rickety. Now there are new rails.

Still 56 steps to a dead-end walkway.

THEN: 1

NOW: 2

Anyone familiar with a very old book, maybe the first of its kind, “San Francisco at your Feet” by Margot Patterson Doss? 

​Used to have this book years ago and think this was where I read that Priest used to have a gorgeous view east. But then it was blocked by a newer building. This is to the left in the pix.

Priest: 3 thru 14


Reed, next door to Priest, is also a dead-end but has some sidewalk steps on the right side: 15, 16

Washington St.: 17

Leroy Pl. is off Sacramento and is a dead-end on both sides. The north side has a huge tank at its dead-end. Between Leavenworth and Jones.

Leroy north: 18, 19

Leroy south: 20

Golden Court, between Leavenworth an Jones, is a dead-end walkway off Sacramento: 21 thru 37

Sacramento: 38


Sacramento St. between Jones & Taylor, north side of Grace Cathedral and its painted-on Labyrinth: 39, 40, 41

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