Walking Filbert Street up Telegraph Hill

Up Telegraph Hill via Filbert Street, it's a steep walk on very sloped pavement or low-rise steps. The steps are easier on the calf muscles. The architecture is mostly old traditional SF bay window houses. Parking is mostly perpendicular to the kerb because of the gradient. Car wheels must be turned into the kerb everywhere in SF to prevent runaways. We stop regularly to take in the cross street views and the surrounding architecture.

Filbert St stops before the top and we climb the stairs through a park to get to the tower.Læs mere
