San Francisco has many hillside stairways connecting neighborhoods. I was driving around the hills near Sutro Tower when I spotted a cute, steep stairway going up. I just had to park and climb it for the experience to see where it went. I parked on Oak Park Drive, near the posted coordinates, elevation ~648 feet, and started climbing.
The stairway appears to be made from pre-fab concrete sections, each containing 21 steps to a landing, then connected with a small 3 step sections, perpendicular to the main rises. I counted 167 steps (though calculations would indicate there ought to be 168). It appears to have 7 major sections and 7 minor sections.
When I reached the top, elevation ~747 feet, a small walkway between two houses took me to Christopher Drive at its intersection with Crestmont Drive.
On Google Maps, this "roadway" is named Glenhaven Lane, so I used that as the title of the Waymark. As I scan Google maps, on Oak Park Drive, it looks like there's another similar stairway just up the road, consisting of four of the same segments.
number of stairs (minimum 60): 167.00
stair landing (check if yes): yes
