San Francisco has over 300 stairwalks and we thought we would get to climb one here at the Presidio (according to the book 'Stairwalks of San Francisco) We did find a stairwalk but it had only six steps, which, according to the International Society of Stairs is the minumum amount required to qualify as a stairwalk <citation needed> . But we did get to check out the beautiful garden maintained Letterman Digital Arts Center. And this nerd fountain.
