Presidio Nat’l Park meanderings continued…
… Up from the Main Post, 56 steps to the Post Chapel (first two pix), then up the long-loved old cemetery trail, pix 3 thru 9.
A view from the Cemetery Overlook, pic 10.
… Pix 11, 12: Golden Gate Overlook.
Just east of the bridge there was still construction down at the microtunnel and picnic area but the rest of the Battery East Trail’s walkable, including the 153 steps down to Crissy Field (and back up again): 13 thru 17.
Out this way, onto the trail between two vehicle streets, the Presidio Promenade: 18, 19, 20.
Passing thru Crissy Field Overlook (pic 21), continuing across the wood footbridge near the stables and onto the Park Trail.
This time stayed on the Park Trail all the way instead of the offtrail shortcut taken last time. Found another of photographer Lyle Gomes’ “Picturing the Presidio” works a bit further along from the one at the beginning of the Park Trail seen before. This one’s called “Roadway 2009.” Pix 22, 23.
These 98 forested steps climb up the west side of the Cemetery Overlook, up from the Park Trail, pic 24.
