16th Avenue Tiled Stairs

The third scenic stairway in San Francisco is the newest and is the least known.  It is located at the corner of Moraga and 16th Street, in the Sunset District.  It is a neighborhood project to create a beautiful mosaic design up the entire 163 steps.  It was designed by artists Colette Crutcher and Aileen Barr and took over two years to complete.  Hundreds of neighbors, sponsors and volunteers worked together to create this unique and beautiful display for everyone to enjoy.  

It's probably not on any tourist maps because there were only three other people there the day I visited.  After a slow ascent up these stairs, a beautiful panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco can be seen.  It's simply magnificent.
