A Walk Around the 2 Mosaic Stairways (North of West Portal)

Now open for RSVPs. After leading several free walks I am charging $5 cash per adult on this walk. Kids, meaning under 18, are always free. I collect the $ at the middle of the walk.

Attendance limit is 70. One guest per attendee allowed if put on the RSVP. This walk is popular and inspirational too.

The route is incredibly beautiful and to prove it I attached a link to the photos taken the last time we did this walk, June 1st, 2014. 74 photos from 6 contributors. See all at link below:

ATTENTION! This walk is hard because of so many stairs and also the vast majority of these stairs do not have handrails. This makes it somewhat dangerous if one is not careful or has balance problems.

We meet at 11:15 AM in front of the West Portal Branch Library close to the West Portal Muni Station. One can take the K, L, or M lines to the station. Bring a sack lunch and water. At 11:30 AM we will start walking. Estimated return time is 4:15 PM.

Then we will walk through the Forest Hill neighborhoods over many stairways including the giant Pacheco Grand Staircase, where we plan to take our group photo.

Then we will go to our normal restroom stop at the J. P. Murphy Recreation Center. Those who arrive late should look for us at those 2 places.

We will eat our sack lunches at the recreation center. I changed this walk over the years. Now it is more concentrated in Forest Hill and has more stairways.

Then we walk to the 2 Mosaic Stairways which are the only 2 big ones in San Francisco and both were decorated by hundreds of neighbors. A relatively ordinary neighborhood got together and did something world spectacular!

Perhaps other communities can by working together do something so spectacular!

Then we walk up to the top of Grand View Park, elevation 666', to see incredible views. Then we walk South taking a different route back through Forest Hill to our starting point. Estimated end time 4:15 PM.

I advise taking public transportation & not driving to SF. For how to get around the Bay Area on public transportation see below.

If you need to drive, there is plenty of available free street parking in the nearby St. Francis Wood neighborhood.
