Hoyt Nelson
This is a repeat of a popular hike that hasn’t been done since July 2010. It includes parts of the Marina, Cow Hollow and Pacific Heights districts with lots of grand views and magnificent architecture.
We will meet at the St. Francis Yacht Club parking lot (NOT the lot in back of the old Exploratorium where we met last time). From Marina Blvd. going W, turn R on Yacht R (just past Baker St.) at 10AM with the usual layered clothing, camera, snacks and liquids and a little money for shopping and lunch. “Facilities” are along some of the shopping streets plus (with a bit of luck) any open blue port-a-potties. Hiking time is expected to be less than 4 hours, but we may spend time around the Palace grounds and taking in scenery here and there. We will pass many stately homes and descend the fabulous Lyon St. stairs – surely the grandest in San Francisco (pictured below).
Signups are limited to 20 people. For more information or to sign up, contact David Schultz or Judy Hom at stairs4@niseiskiclub.org. More detailed info will be sent a week before the hike.
Hope to see you all there!
