The Lyon Street Steps are one of eight different stairways that can be found in San Francisco. The steps are located on Lyon St. right outside the Presidio. They serve a purpose as they facilitate a direct access between Green St (the top). to Vallejo St (in the middle) and to Broadway (at the bottom end). There are some really cool houses on Lyon, so these steps are major throughway for the people that live there. I went on an overcast day but it was still had some amazing views and landscaping:

The Lyon Street Steps are another one of those cool things to do in San Francisco that no many know about. It is usually used by people doing their aerobic workout. If you go enjoy everything but stay out of the way of people's workouts (LOL)
Nice documentation. I have not been here at all.

Wow. This is my kind of tour. I LOVE landscape pictures. What stands out the most to me is the tall tree between the buildings and the actual stairs themselves.

Those stairs are imposing!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the party at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2018/02/some-african-ceremonial-masks.html
Great pics! Love that stately home! And those steps are extreme. We live on a steep hill (a corner property) that is popular for runners and joggers - even whole groups of people! We watch from the comfort of our balcony! Lol :D
ReplyDeleteThis looks so stunning. I can imagine it being beautiful whatever the season. I shall put this on my 'to do' list. Thank you. x

ReplyDeleteVisited SF for first time few years ago, but didn't have time for much so only did the touristy sites. Wish I'd known more or see your post regarding the steps and such beforehand. Thanks for sharing a bit of your area in your photos.

I use to take pictures and put them on Instagram as easy as you please & POOF! It's been a while & I forgot how! :( I need somebody to teach me how to do it again! :( Grrrrr so mad at me! Anyway, you always find some cool place to go & it seems you never run out of cool stuff to share! Did you ever hear that song by Megan Trainor - If I were you I'd wanna be me too! I'd wanna be me too! THAT IS SO YOUR SONG! Sorry I'm so late. Was very busy this morning & too tired last night, but I made it! ~hehehehe~ Hope all is well with you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your beautiful photos. Those steps are great for cardios.
ReplyDeletePatrick,
ReplyDeleteThe view from there is fabulous! This looks like a place I'd like to visit and photograph. Thanks for the marvelous share & for linking up, my friend!
San Francisco is one of my favorite cities! I was not aware of the hearts and heroes sculptures.
ReplyDeleteIt looks love around here. Perfect for taking photos. The steps look great but I can imagine get tired half way up them. Thanks for linking up to The Wednesday Blog Hop. Hope you can join me tomorrow :)
ReplyDeleteIn my younger days, I would be excited about places like this--now days, I admire the workmanship and cleverness of connecting places.
ReplyDeleteFunny I have never heard fo the Lyon street steps, but they are gorgeous. Last time we were there we drove down lombard street and the kids got such a kick out of it.

Wow, that is a great view! I can't imagine it is cheap to live there. But so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat place to explore! <3
ReplyDeleteSan Francisco is really pretty in some areas. This is one of those areas that you can relax and enjoy the scenery on a walk. The architecture and history of some of those places is also interesting.
