2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Hundreds of stairways traverse San Francisco's 42 hills, exposing incredible vistas while connecting colorful, unique neighborhoods, and veteran guide Adah Bakalinsky loves them all. Her updated "Stairway Walks in San Francisco" explores clandestine corridors from Lands End to Bernal Heights while sharing captivating architectural, historical, pop culture, and horticultural notes along the way. Long-term locals and tourists alike have used the book for over 25 years to adventurously uncover San Francisco's unexpected details. This revised and expanded edition has been thoroughly updated and includes three additional walks, new maps, and new color photographs. A comprehensive appendix lists every one of the city's 600-plus public stairways.

A fun spot for book lovers from Walk #1...the What Cheer House did not allow alcohol (perhaps the origins of its name ;)) but it was the site of San Francisco's first free library.

Had a great time playing tourist in my own backyard today. This is a fabulous book for anyone in San Francisco willing to climb for the best views, plus great history, art and architecture.
