Starting this hike rom Castro up to De Forest, a swalkers-only way up up to the east edge of Corona Heights Park: 1

Flint St. dead-end at De Forest: 2, 3


From Fint up a steep trail to the Randall Museum’s east steps: 4, 6, 6

Here you’ll see the east trailhead for the 130 steps to the upper bench. More steps curve round the south side after this, descending on the west side of the summit rocks and out to Roosevelt. 

Around to the main entrance of the Randall: 7 thru 12

​The new animal room was open (closed Monday). My favorite this time was a pair of turtles. Second was a gorgeous snake trying to get past the glass barrier of its cage.

The steep zigzag ramp descends to a playground and States St. in the Corona Heights neighborhood: 12 thru 20

States St. uphill west: 21, 22, 23

The Castle is a delight to behold: 24 thru 34

Continuing up States to where it turns left on Levant: 35 thru 40

Levant/States stairs up to Roosevelt: 41

South on Levant to the top of Vulcan Stairway: 42, 43

A few THENS from 1072: 74 Vulcan, 66-68 Vulcan, and Vulcan's foot near Ord:  44, 45, 46


Down Vulcan (Eureka Valley/Castro neighborhood). 219 steps for the north, main, stairway:47 thru 55

Vulcan’s south stairway is a dead-end with three homes on it and a couple of microtrails to it from the north steps: 56, 57

Back from where it turns, down to Ord: 58 turu 64

Ord's a dead-end on the north side; south end crosses 17th): 65


View from Old up the Saturn minipark stairway, next stair-street to the south of Vulcan: 66. 67

Love the benches at the foot of Saturn: 68

More 
Ord: 69 thru 78

Passing the old, long-closed streetcar tracks on upper Market just before the Castro Metro station:

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