The 12-Mile day of Many Stairs

Today's Route

Another wonderful walk with the Warming Hut Hotties! If today's walk had a theme, it would have been "Stairs". We conquered many. Wish I would have thought to count them (or even take photos of all of them) because it was quite an impressive amount.

We started with the always beautiful (and steep) Lyon Street Stairs. The Lyon Street Steps consist of two levels, each with 120 stairs. So, that's 240 so far!

We continued through some great trails in the Presidio, before walking most of the length of Clement Street. Somewhere before our break at Fresh N Easy, we passed by these two dinosaurs!


Dinosaurs in San Francisco!

After a quick food break at Fresh N Easy, we walked onto Geary/Pt Lobos and eventually at El Camino del Mar. Here, we marveled at the gorgeous mansions (and I really do mean mansions) and caught glimpses of the spectacular views that some of those homes have. I could spend all day looking at those houses. :)

We walked along then UP the stairs of Land's End Trail (UP, UP, UP!) made our way to Baker Beach. From there, we climbed UP and DOWN the many, many, many stairs of the Batteries to Bluffs Trailhead. It was spectacular!


this really doesn't give you a sense of just how many stairs were in this trail. If you look at the photo, and see the many houses in the background, you'll see just how far we walked in a little more than an hour.

We had many lovely views of our beautiful Golden Gate Bridge along the way today. It made for many photo opps!

We eventually walked under the Golden Gate Bridge (always cool) and made our way back to the Warming Hut.

As we came back to Crissy Field at around 12:30, the sun was just starting to peak out. It was a really nice day for a walk. :)
