You’ll want to bring your camera on this beautiful hiking tour of San Francisco’s hidden stairways. Take in views that most San Franciscans don’t even know to exist while seeing lovely areas that visitors seldom get to see.
This kind of walk is an urban hike since it combines physical activity with cultural exploration. Learn about the Sunset District and Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Be amused by your guide and take in the lush flora as you make your way up. A spectacular view from above the city is what makes it all worth it at the end of your journey. Your guide is more than delighted to take a picture of you with your phone or camera so that you can relive the experience (and the payoff).
But don’t overlook what’s there in front of you. The sea-to-stars mosaic created by the elaborate, multicolored tiled stairs is worthy of a photograph by itself. Discover how they got here and much, much more on our 16th Avenue outdoor stairways guided tour.
