From the #43 bus stop at Stanyan & Parnassus, several blocks uphill to the top of Stanyan. This time passing the Stanyan trailhead for Mount Sutro Forest’s lower Historic Trail: first pic
The steep uppermost block of Stanyan has sidewalk steps on each side. 61 for the west: pic 2
At Belgrave’s east vehicle dead-end there’s a trail up to Tank Hill Park.
At its west dead-end for vehicles there’s a steep, unmarked, gorgeous old trail up into the forest. It IS shown as a trail on Google Maps.
I like the several treelimbs across the trail. In the old days it was more difficult to climb, especially at the top. Now the top part is easier. Out to Behr and Johnstone.
Belgrave trail: 3 thru 9
If you want to connect with the Fairy Gates Trail, its east trailhead has a trailmarker and is near the top of the Belgrave.
Across from the Aldea Center, the trailhead for the East Ridge: 10, 11, 12
Mystery Trail next. Sat in the carved chair: 13, 14, 15
North Ridge Trail. And another piece of trail art: 16 thru 28
Out to the road from the North Ridge, admiring the lower trails from the pedestrian walkway: 29 thru 32
Downhill thru the permits-only parking lot to the 136 steps that descend to the foot of winding Medical Center Way, behind the UCSF medical buildings on Parnassus: 33 thru 43
