(Photo above: Family moving "their" earthquake Cottage from Precita Park up to Bernal Hts.,1907. Occupants could keep the government provided, union built cottage they had lived in after the earthquake, if the rent was up to date. Sometimes charged at $100. But land values had bottomed after the earthquake. Rows of these, painted park bench green were temporarily built in most of the parks in SF and the Presidio.
We'll explore and discover the scenic, up and down stair pathways, as well as the Victorian architecture in this unique neighborhood. Not to mention the marvelous views as we ascend the stair paths.

(Here's a simple link that will allow you to support the Meetup and add a thank you.)

(Total distance, two miles, but there are eight novel steps/stair/paths to climb up, resulting in a total elevation gain of just over 500'. You'll get your, "steps"/exercise, but overall we go slow, stopping to see some of the Victorian details and taking in the gorgeous views.
Wear sturdy shoes. Don't risk a fall or a sprained ankle, or worse ,by wearing inappropriate footwear for this activity.
