A springtime walk in the sunshine on Mount Davidson. First the openspace, then thru the forest descending from the cross area.
Especially love hiking up into Mount Davidson Park from the #36 Teresita’s convenient stop at Dalewood at the main park entrance. Eight steps to start, then occasional wood “steps” spaced widely apart the rest of the way up. You get the forest on one side and the city below on the east side. During blackberry season there’re berries to pick alongside.
The trail up: 1 thru 8.
Views from the openspace: 9 thru 16. Two stairways down, east and north. The north has 22 steps, the east about the same.
The monument: 17, 18, 19.
A forest trail: Pic 20; out to Dalewood.
I like this big tree across one of the minor trails. You need to climb over it rather than just step over; love this sort of thing. Pic 21.
37 steps for the old brick stairway down to Juanita: last four pix.
