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. 

Mile Rock Beach midsteps down. Turn left for the beach. For a narrow trail around to the upper viewspot and the Labyrinth, straight ahead. Pic 19, 262 steps. 

The main Lands End/Coastal Trail stairs up (138) next to the “Painted Rock” area: 20 thru 24.

East stairs, 119 or so: 25 thru 27.

East cliffside: 28, 29.



Along the Lands End Trail east to Eagle's Point Overlook, pic 30.

Lincoln Park steps down to 33rd Ave. Last two pix, 52 steps. Hopefully the additional tilework for this Outer Richmond Stairmaster will commence soon.

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