My roommate Kelly was the first one who told me about the Moraga
Mosaic Steps, and while on a run during a rare, but gorgeous SF day, I decided
I would finally make my way to check out the steps. And what an incredible
sight! I know I wasn't prepared for the beautiful art mosaics-- especially
because I did not have my camera, but I was able to snap some shots on my
iPhone. I have since gone back several times to take better photos and find any
excuse to show my friends or in-town guests this amazing hidden gem. It's a
semi-secret spot in the Outer Sunset that I highly recommend to locals and
tourists, alike. The tile pieces paint a scene of the California coastline
horizon, from the sandy beaches covered in seashells, birds and plants,
swirling into the beautiful ocean filled with sea creatures, up to the big
sky's moon and sun. Most of steps have tiles with life quotes or the names of
families who helped make these steps possible with their generous donations. At
the very top of the steps you can look back and see an epic view of the
Sunset neighborhoods and Ocean Beach horizon.
Check out the map at the bottom of this post and go on an
adventure to see the Moraga Steps in SF!
