Rob Hill to Baker Beach

3/4/2015

Down the Presidio’s Connector Trail (208 steps; top at Immigrant Point Overlook) to Lincoln, first six pix, then across the street to descend the Sand Ladder.

The Sand Ladder has over 200 log steps but you’ll probably get a different staircount each time as some will be totally covered with sand: 7 thru 24.

West a little way to ascend a shorter one (43 steps): 25, 26, 27, 28.

Along the trail atop Battery Chamberlin (pic 29) and through the picnic area with its dunes, trees, and good cooking aromas. Last pic, a Baker Beach “green roof.”   

A little way uphill from the westernmost parking area is a bus stop for the crosstown #29.

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