Truly a lovely street, but the Stairway has been closed to the public, probably due to gang violence. Hopefully the “upgrading” to the area may allow this stairway to be opened again sometday in the future.

I don’t know why this walkway is a double walkway… lord knows, few enough folks use this, at least when I was there.

The center meridian would be perfect for a park.. just add a little water.

For me, a sweet little stairway to start with. Close to our home on Drury Lane, I try to start or end a walk in my neighborhood on this stairway. The folks in the neighborhood have done a very nice job on this with upkeep… and the wind chimes make it a very “Zen” experience using this stairway. It is a calming experience no matter the beginning or ending of a little journey. This light is quite nice as well in the later afternoon or early evening.

At the base of the Stairway.

I do wish to say thanks to the neighbors of this stairway for caring and maintaining this stairway so nicely. It is on of the reason I do love living here in Silverlake.

For me, another local neighborhood stairway. Mostly used by the dog-walkers, housekeepers and nannies of the area.

Overall, a fairly easy and pleasant stairway.

A hefty stairway going about 2-thirds the height of the hill.

Some good views near the top of the San Bernardino Mountains, make a good place to stop for a rest or two.

And you get to see a few homes and the neighbors who live along the stairway.
