Sutro Baths Uppertrail Walkable Again

Down from the Lands End Lookout/lower parking lot overlook area, the first long stairway descended (first three pix, 128 steps) leads to the trail atop the cave, a popular viewspot.

The work along the Sutro Baths Upper Trail has been competed and the steps up from the cavetop viewplace are again walkable. Looks like they added a couple more steps while they were at it. This time got 143; earlier staircount was 141: 4 thru 11. 

Moving east, view down from the upper parking lot overlook. The first pic is the way the steps looked in 2006. a THEN, pic 12,w hen the overlook didn’t exist. Since then the stairway has been changed twice; this is its current incarnation with a view down to the first Lands End overlook: Pix 13, 14, 59 steps. 

Connector steps (89) to El Camino del Mar Trail from main Coastal Trail: 15. 16, 17.

Pic 18: Lands End Trail near Mile Rock Beach steps.
