Not to state the obvious, but San Francisco has a ton of hidden gems. I recently found this article (picture #5 in the article) that reminded me of the beautiful 16th Avenue Mosaic stairs, and decided as part of our Tuesday date I wanted to go there with Lingon.
Supposedly 163 stairs high, we went there and walked. It was indeed very beautiful, brightly coloured tiles depicting a swirly picture of animals and plants. Here is an article about the building of the stairs.
We then proceeded to the zig zag staircase which was tucked away behind the wall we were faced with upon finishing the first flight of stairs.
We arrived at Grand View Park and were greeted with MAGNIFICENT views of the north and west of San Francisco. Wow! The picture is not that big, but you can see downtown in the right background and the Golden Gate Bridge towards the left of the picture. I am always amazed by this beautiful city I call home.
A little below the 16th Avenue stairs were the less-known Hidden Garden Steps. Another neighbourhood initiative. Impressive. Hats off to the neighbours who put time and money into the project.
A fun little excursion for us downtown folks who find a trip even just to Pacific Heights a trek.
