Curious as to whether the new accessible trail connecting the Presidio's Mountain Lake Trail with El Polin Spring had been completed by now, headed over to the west side of the field and residences (first pic). Here were two trailheads for the new connector, a few yards apart.
Figured they'd be leaving the older wood stairway (next two pics) as it was. Nope, it's gone now: covered over with netting.
The new trail curves down to the boardwalk, ponds and picnic area. El Polin Spring was happily bubbling along after the rains, flowing into the ponds.
Up the newer stairway (69 steps) on the west side (fourth and fifth pics) to walk around higher up for different views of the new trail (next five) before heading back up the way I came (Lover's Lane: last pic)
