The gardens on each side are well maintained and offer additional beauty to the area. The stairs themselves feature vibrant and lovely colors and blend in well with the surroundings.

It officially opened to the public on December 7, 2013.ĭisclaimer: I receive a small commission from some of the links on this page. The artists started work on the stairs in 2012. This community project started with fund-raising and the design projects in 2010. The bottom four sections have more stairs per section than the upper 5 sections.Įach section has its own design, but the sections blend together in a way to create a constant flow for the design. There are 9 sections with a total of 148 stairs. The stairs climb up 16th Avenue between Kirkham and Lawton. These mosaic stairs feature beautiful designs of flowers, plants and local insects. Bright green, yellow, and orange hues make for a set of stunning steps situated off California Street where it dead ends into the Lincoln Park Golf Course.įireclay Tiles and Heath Ceramics donated pieces for the new staircase, making this climber a good one for local ceramists to check out.You will find the Hidden Garden Steps on the western end of San Francisco's Inner Sunset district.

You can avoid the hordes of trainers by going midday, but to avoid the runners, walk along the center-rail so fitness fanatics can pass on the right. In addition to being a favorite of fitness buffs, who love to hoof up and down its 332 steps, it’s practically unknown to tourists. Located between the Presidio and Pacific Heights, this chic set of stairs offers two choice settings: lush forest to the west and tony mansions to the east.

Most notable are the oft-photographed spiral staircases, with mosaic tiling, that look like a Brutalist structure took one too many hits of acid. The steps also offer unobstructed views of the Bay Bridge and Treasure Island, as well as the local feral parrots who visit regularly.Īlthough retails stores at the Embarcadero Shopping Center are diminish, the beauty of the its staircases and tile work only gets better as the years go by. (Note the homes along Napier that have neither garages nor parking spots. The highlight of these steps is Napier Lane, a wooden plank sidewalk lined with pre-1900, cottage-like homes, as well as a public garden dubbed Grace Marchant Garden.
