Twin Peaks Spring Beauty

Twin Peaks hike pix continued … Part 2.  This was a long trek with a lot of fotos, so making it two posts.

Eureka Peak's northside is the only one of the peaks stairways that has less than 100 steps (about 83). The other three peaks-stairs each have more than 100. It can be crowded on these four stairways, a huge tourist attraction even on weekdays. 


The south side of Noe Peak has the most stairs, pic 1, 2

North side of Noe Peak, pic 3

South side of Eureka Peak: 4, 5, 6


North side of Eureka Peak, pic 7

From the trail just off Twin Peaks Blvd. (reached from the top of the stairs up from Crestline): 8 thru 13


View west for Sutro Tower with Midtown Terrace below, pic 14. Hikers can step over the guardrail on the west side for a certain much used old trail down to Midtown Terrace at Marview. Cross the street for another trail that circles around the tower; watch out for mountain bikers. Continue down to Clarendon. Cross carefully over two-way, winding Clarendon for access to Mount Sutro Forest’s delightful trails.

At the main viewplace: Last three pix.

Noe and Eureka make up the Twin Peaks, what great views of the city from the top of the peaks. Thanks for sharing.

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