Scaling the Heights: Telegraph Hill to Russian Hill
About this Event
SF City Guides is proud to play a role in San Francisco’s first “Walktober” and SF Stairway Month (celebrating its third year!) dedicating our beautiful month of October to discovering (and rediscovering) trails, alleyways, known and secret stairways, vistas, community gardens, and art with your friends while making new ones. We’ve crafted a special walk that will take you through some of San Francisco’s most iconic neighborhoods. We will start at Levi’s Plaza, head up the Filbert Street stairs into Telegraph Hill, down through North Beach and finish on Russian Hill at Francisco Park. You’ll wander through historic districts, see diverse architecture, explore wooded enclaves, delight in charming green spaces claimed and cared for by residents, and be wowed by picture postcard vistas.
This walk will be led by Barrie Simpson and Dennis Wong.
SPECIAL GUESTS: On this unique occasion, you will be greeted by several of SFCG’s amazing guides who specialize in these neighborhoods. Get ready! They will be treating you to “only-in-San Francisco” stories. SFCG is a nearly 50-year-old nonprofit organization that offers over 70 free walks where you can learn the history of the city, about its architecture, murals, and much more.
WALK DETAILS: Most challenging in the beginning (Filbert and Greenwich stairways), then slightly less challenging, but still strenuous. Expect uneven paths and stairs with a mix of pavements: concrete, rock, brick, and wood. Wear sturdy shoes and bring water/snacks, we also encourage you to pack a lunch to relax with your fellow walkers in Francisco Park where we have reserved tables with snacks and beverages. There will be a restroom stop about 30 minutes from the start and another at the end. Start and finish locations are public transit accessible.
TOTAL DISTANCE: 2.5 miles
