03 Sep Stairways of San Francisco

I love to walk, but I am not a fan of hills. I make the mistake time after time of walking up them really quickly. This isn’t always the best idea.

As you may know, San Francisco is a relatively hilly place to visit. Though, some of these hills have had stairways built into them for convenience. As much as I don’t like hills, I actually love stairs.

San Francisco has some amazing stairways to visit. Climbing them is met with the satisfaction of reaching the top and usually with the added bonus of a different view of the many sides of this great city. Descending staircases can also lead to great sights.

There are many stairways worth mentioning, though I will stick to two in this blog.

The Moraga Tiled Stairway
Moraga and 16th

Located in Inner Sunset, these set of stairs are a beautiful mosaic-tiled stairway that ascends up towards Grand View Park.

Josh explains the beginnings of the stairs in more detail.

Mile Rock Stairway
Lands End

This stairway is a off the Lands End Trail and leads down to the Mile Rock Beach. From the beach you can see the Mile Rock Lighthouse. There is also a maze (labyrinth) down in this area of Mile Rock Beach as well.

Get your walking shoes, your camera and your friends and walk around this amazing city. Climb a staircase.
