Description

Added by The Outbound Collective

Walk up (or down) the iconic tiled steps in SF.

These tiles steps are ironically iconic, as they are called the "Hidden" Garden Steps. They are one of 3 tiled staircases that San Francisco is famous for. The others are the 16th Ave Tiled Steps and the Lincoln Park Steps.

Tip: When calling an uber, try to get dropped off at the top of the steps and picked up from the bottom.

Everyone goes to the 16th street stairs for their photo op but the hidden garden stairs are just as pretty. BUT you don’t get the cool view down to the ocean. You can link of the two tile stairs and summit grand view park as well

This is another great set of stairs with tiled artwork similar to 16th Ave; however, there is typically a smaller crowd here.

I'd visit this if you were already in the area or walking by. Not worth it to take an uber just to go here. There are other steps to check out too.

This is worth seeing - it's only a shame there isn't more like this in the City.

16th Avenue Tiled Steps

The 16th Avenue Tiled Steps also known as the Moraga steps are an impressive community achievement, and an equally killer workout. Take an easy lap up the stairs to check out the amazing art, take in the views from the top, then get down to business. You'll be glad you made the trek over to this neighborhood gem!

Grand View Park ("Turtle Hill")

A recipe for happiness in the "cool grey city of love." To the seasoned San Franciscan there is no finer view in the Bay Area than that from San Francisco's front porch, Turtle Hill or "Grand View Park". If the North American continent / plate is a ship, then Grand View Park is the prow giving epic, vast views up and down the California coast and of Golden Gate Park, the Marin Headlands, Golde...

Stow Lake And Strawberry Hill

Strawberry Hill is one of the hidden gems of Golden Gate Park. It is named after the once abundant strawberry fields that inhabited the island. The hill, which reaches up to 430ft, is located in the middle of Stow Lake and has 2 foot bridges for access. This is a great place to run if you're looking to get away from the crowds in the park, but you may want to take a few laps to get your full wo...

Stow Lake

Not too many people know that you can rent a rowboat at Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park, but you can. And you should! This is one of my favorite ways to spend a few hours on a beautiful day in San Francisco. Grab your loved one, your favorite bottle of wine, some snacks, and hop in a rowboat. You’ll float under a couple of bridges, past the waterfall on Strawberry Hill, and along shore where you...

Fairy Gates Trail

Visit the Conservatory of Flowers

Spend a day exploring Golden Gate Park by jogging, cycling, or leisurely strolling. There are so many fantastic stops in the park including a variety of lakes, playgrounds, a golf course, the California Academy of Science, the Conservatory of Flowers, and much much more! It is definitely worth spending a day here. The Conservatory of Flowers is a greenhouse and botanical garden that houses nu...
