Yard Way Steps

Most of the steps on Yard Way date back to 1944 and number 314 in total. They are the longest set of stairs on this side of the slopes. The first 13 steps were rebuilt in time for the first StepTrek in April 2000. In addition to providing a fascinating tour of this hillside neighborhood, the StepTrek encourages the city to make repairs to existing stairways for public safety. The first cross street you come to is Gregory St. Climb an additional 187 steps past an unmarked street (Magdalena St.), past Roscoe St. to Baldauf St. Ascend 52 more steps to Huron St. and Winter’s Playground to your right.
