Oakley Way & Mosaic Steps

Ahead are the Mosaic Steps! Take care crossing Josephine St. on the left side of S. 27th. As you climb the first 98 stairs, the colorful image of a young woman with a single flower reveals itself against a backdrop of homes, hills and wildlife. The steps themselves were built in 1928. Notice the foundations of long gone houses on the left as you climb. Continue across McCord St. and ascend an additional 63 steps to Shelly St. Take a break. You’ve just climbed the equivalent of 12 floors.
