The view looking down the second flight of stairs with the first flight far below. Notice how hedges compacted the view.

The view from the Lyon Street stairs was spectacular. The city was laid out on a sunny afternoon with Angel Island across the bay.

Folks were both climbing and descending the Lyon Street stairs that Saturday afternoon. This was only the first flight of several leading up the hill.

Another view from the Lyon Street Stairs, this time with the Presidio to the left, and the dome of the Palace Of Fine Arts directly below.

A few fit folks ran the stairs. For example, several folks (of which this woman was an example) ran up and back down the stairs several times during the ten minutes it took me to merely walk up the stairs.
