Join us for a 5.25-mile walk of San Francisco’s iconic tiled stairways, featuring special guests & a finale party at Burnside Steps!
About this Event

Be dazzled by four of San Francisco’s beautiful, truly iconic, tiled stairways featuring handmade tiles and mosaics. The walk will start in Golden Gate Heights at Hidden Gardens tiled stairway, then to 16th/Moraga tiled steps, walk up perfectly named Grand View Hill, head through West Portal, and then on to the “Dragon’s Tale” tiled stairway at Miraloma Elementary School, with the walk then transitioning to rustic Glen Canyon and end at Burnside’s combo mural and tiled steps.

This walk will be led by Alexandra Kenin who created this extraordinary map of SF’s stairways. It will be moderately strenuous, with some hills, mostly pavement with dirt paths and uneven terrain in Glen Canyon. There will be a bathroom stop along the route. Bring water, pack snacks/a light lunch.

This is the grand finale of SF Stairway Month walks, and it will end in style at the Burnside Steps with a party for all walkers to join – and – also celebrate the 1st anniversary of the completion of the Burnside Steps. There will be snacks and surprises.

Special Guests: The extraordinary duo, Aileen Barr and Colette Crutcher, masterful mosaic artists for all four stairways featured in this walk, will share how the designs are created and artwork completed. Alice Xavier, community leader for 16th/Moraga stairway, the first tiled stairway in San Francisco, will greet walkers with stories of the steps, from the hatching of the idea to its realization. And, Renee Berger, organizer of SF Stairway Month and community leader for the Burnside Steps, will tell you about the special combination of a mural and tiled steps that together celebrate the history of Glen Park.

This walk is a part of SF Stairway Month which is hosted by the and organized by Glen Park Beautiful. Thank you to our partners at the , , , , and the .
