Steps Temporarily Closed

Inspired by a recent Hidden Garden Steps blog, paid a visit to see if anything new had been added since last time. Found the to-be-tiled 16th Ave. Kirkham-to-Lawton stairway in the Golden Gate Heights 'hood to be temporarily closed and impassable now at the top, due to reopen in April. First pic: mural and bench at the foot (149 or so steps).

The next stairway over, 15th Avenue, is even longer with around 193 steps, and an excellent tile-job candidate as well. Ascended this one to Lawton/Lomita at 15th Avenue, next four pics.

Sixth pic: Mount Sutro's Forest Knolls up ahead from 15th Ave. and Lawton. 

Continuing east, climbed Funston to divided Noriega. Seventh pic: Mount Sutro's Forest Knolls again from divided Noriega. 

Eighth pic: Selma stairway's foot (153 steps, near 12th Ave.) is the dark spot in the upper left corner of Noriega. Pics 9, 10, and 11 are of the Selma stairway up to Ortega. 

Passed Oriole stairway (90-something steps) on the way downhill from Golden Gate Heights to the Forest Hill neighborhood to catch the Forest Hill Metro (Laguna Honda/Seventh Ave.) Oriole's foot (pix 12 and 13) is at Pacheco near 2000 10th Avenue. 


At Ninth Ave. are a couple of posts indicating that you're now entering the Forest Hill 'hood with its winding streets and uniquely beautiful homes. Last pic is the foot of the steps at Castenada at Magellan. Google Maps says this stairway is called "Forest Hill Path."

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