Post date / 2011 / Week 31
Off from town
On the historical trolley line
which is both active public transportation
and a national history icon too!
Here we are at Castro!
gateway to the twin peaks
and land of the rainbow flag!
look at that mass of overhead wires!
it's the gay district of the city
ditto!
decked out in pride!
loads of them everywhere!
look, man love! :3
the way up to the twin peaks...
require some neighbourhood navigating
the fastest is from castro, head up to 20 street
remember to turn your wheels into the kerb!
Up the stairs!
and more stairs!
getting higher!
The juntion between Romain street & Douglass street
yup, that's the street alrite!
then you will come to this bridge at the end of the street
cross it and head straight
you will hit a school at the end
The Rooftop Elementary School
don't take this steps as it leads into the school
go along Burnett Avenue
it's a school zone alright!
the high rise residential areas on the hills
climb the steps at end of hopkins
followed by this flight of steps
through a residential carpark
it's quite a flight
alternative to climbing is taking bus 37 up here from castro
which I will advise for the trip down
looking good from up here!
Crestline is the highest street here
just follow the signs
Here's the entrance to the summit!
Sutro Tower in the distance
The city of San Francisco!
the sun is setting behind us
the business district and transamerica pyramid
the figure of 8 road serving the twin peaks
heres the south peak
more steps, this time more grassy!
The fast setting sun
Crestline street and the short climb up to the figure of 8 road
see a figure of 8!
