Picture this: the Golden Gate Bridge, an architectural wonder known for its majestic orange hue that has become synonymous with San Francisco.

One of the best things about San Francisco is the hidden surprises tucked away in many unassuming residential neighborhoods.
The 16th Avenue Staircase has 163 mosaic tile steps, a colorful flight of stairs stowed away in the peaceful Golden Gate Heights (Sunset) neighborhood.
Neighborhood residents Jessie Audette and Alice Yee Xavier started the project in 2003 in a grassroots effort to connect the neighbors in a community project to beautify Golden Gate Heights.
Once you find the staircase, you will witness sweeping views of the city, beautiful garden design, including succulents and native habitat plants for the Green Hairstreak butterfly.
The artists for this stairway are Collette Crutcher and Aileen Barr.
LOCATION On Moraga St. between 15th & 16th Ave. San Francisco CA
