Lively route descriptions, at-a-glance Quick-Step summaries, and easy-to-read maps—as well as parking and public-transportation information—provide all the details you want to know. Plus, a comprehensive appendix lists all 600-plus stairways. Whether you want to learn about the city’s history and architecture, elevate your exercise routine, or just let your feet lead the way to new adventures, Stairway Walks in San Francisco has something for everyone.
