A Delightful Little Stroll

Today's hike was the Detroit Stairway, the Sunnyside Conservatory, and Joost and Baden Mini Park. This was a southern city hike. I started off on Detroit and Hearst. Took up the first out of three flights of stairs. That took me up to Monterey Blvd. I crossed the street and headed up for a couple more flights of stairs. By the time I reached Joost Ave, I had ascended up 140 steps. The stairway had nice plants on the right side of them, but there was some little on the steps. It could be cleaned up a little bit better. 

From Joost Ave, I headed right until I got to Congo. Then I headed down to Monterey and Congo. Turning left, I reached the Sunnyside Conservatory, walked up 11 steps until I went around the building and then walked up another 35 steps up to Joost & Nordhoff. By Mangels just up the street was a mini park, that consisted of 45 steps. I walked up that, then headed left until i reached the Detroit Stairs again. Short, but delightful and relaxing.
