Explore San Francisco's Potrero Hill neighborhood with a stairway walk. Take a walk in Potrero Hill on a visit to San Francisco.
My business trip also included a stop in San Francisco that conveniently included a weekend in the city.
I met up with friends for brunch and we decided on a whim to do a Stairway Walk.
We forgot our copy of Stairway Walks in San Francisco but were saved when we were able to download it on the fly to my friend's Nook.
We decided to tackle Potrero Hill.
We started at the apex of a steep hill crowned by the Potrero Hill Neighborhood House Theatre.
The air show happened to be on in San Francisco that weekend and we got a nice dose of sky writing.We passed a cute garden surrounded by ceramic geese.
We met a tiny leopard kitty in a residential window. I've never seen a cat with such amazing markings before!
We descended a stairway through a local park.
I liked these orange flowers that resembed fireworks. We could see clusters in different stages of development.
The views of the San Francisco skyline were breathtaking.
Large feathery fronds blew in the breeze.
We spotted a colorful caterpillar hanging on to a clump of wild fennel.We rounded a corner and could hear the sounds of the highway below. We spotted colorful homes in the distance.
Twin Peaks was bathed in a layer of fog.
We came across a community garden.
We spotted a very small green area called The Benches Garden.
Nearby was a utilitarian bridge over Highway 101.
We could spy cars whizzing by loudly below.
Heading back into the heart of Potrero Hill, we spotted more old fashioned modes of transportation.
I even spotted a pink flamingo behind a wrought iron gate.We passed the Anchor Steam Brewery. They do tours, but unfortunately, only by appointment.
We climbed a very steep set of stairs and were followed by a bright white kitty looking for attention.
