The Crocker-Amazon neighborhood has very few stairways. This ‘hood and adjacent Daly City could use a lot more. The #43 bus doesn’t run close enough to San Bruno Mountain Park’s Crocker trailhead, so upon disembarking this nondriver has to trudge a long way uphill.
Instead of streets-made-for-cars curving around so much in certain superhilly neighborhoods, more stairways would help a lot for more of a direct route to the park, so I could spend more time in the park itself.
There’s one short stairway regularly used when finally descending to the bus stop on the way back from the park way up above, this from Prague & Winding Way to Curtis/Munich/Naples: 36 steps, first two pics.
Once into the park:
Trailhead at Crocker Ave.: Old Guadalupe Trail, pic 3
Saddle Loop Trailhead from Old Guadalupe: pic 4
Bog Trail down from Old Guadalupe: pix 5 thru 14
The Meadow area: 15, 16, 17
Eucalyptus Loop Trail: 18 thru 25
Old Ranch Road Trail: 26, 27, 28
Looking up from South Hill Blvd. to Alta Vista in Daly City on the way back down, last pic.
