Santa Monica Stairs

Santa Monica

Two of the most punishing staircases in the city. The wooden set is about 170 steps, straight up, and the better one if you actually want to run it. The concrete set at 4th and Adelaide is longer, winds in switchbacks, and is narrow enough that passing turns into a negotiation. Go before eight, keep the noise down, and park on San Vicente or Ocean, never Adelaide.
