Lyon Street Steps Walk

The walk begins at the base of the Lyon Steet Steps on the intersection of Lyon and Green Streets. The MUNI #45 takes you within a couple blocks of this starting point at its Lyon Street terminus stop.

A short walk up Lyon Street and you come upon some of SF's most beautiful homes.

Lyon Street dead ends on a small cul-de-sac where the steps begin. It is a non descrip set of concrete steps with iron railings, polished from the years of use.

Though the stairway is short, the steepness of the steps seems imposing at first.

Reaching the top of the first set of steps is Vallejo Street. Compared to the first set of concrete steps, I was surprised to find how ornate the next set of steps were.

The next terrace is a beautful and well kept English garden. The garden has one of the many painted SF Hearts that dots the city.

This would be a great spot to meditate if not for the many walkers and joggers that use the steps for exercising.
