Stairs Forest and Garden

An attempt to stay mostly in forested parts of the Presidio had me starting out on the Bay Area Ridge Trail above Arguello and all the way to the end behind the residences above the cemetery overlook. 

Forgot that one trail was blocked off by a gate at its upper end so turned back to descend the top stairway from the north edge of the golf course (first pic). 


Back into the forest from the Park Trail, onto the Bay Area Ridge Trail again, a vehicle street above and Fort Scott below: 2, 3, 4, 5.

At the end of this trail portion, out far too soon, was at the east edge of Rob Hill Campground. So, at the yellow fire hydrant, down the short trail (pic 6) to Wisser Ct. (behind homes in the Fort Scott neighborhood) for a leisurely meander around the Fort Scott Community Garden (pix 7 thru 15).

Into the Fort Scott neighborhood, the stone footbridge over Dragonfly Creek: 16, 17. 

Pic 18, Fort Scott’s brick castle. 

Between the Golden Gate Overlook and east Batteries to Bluffs trailhead: Pic 19. 

A few Batteries to Bluffs Trail pix, 20 thru 26 (473-ish steps), and up the sandy trail to Lincoln. 

Crossing Lincoln and up the Connector Trail (208 steps) to Immigrant Point Overlook. Pic 27, the footbridge. 

Downhill on Battery Caulfield Road to the Marine Cemetery Vista Trail. Pic 28 is of its stepped wood boardwalk, the stairway just ahead.

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