Vulcan Stairs, Urban stairway in Corona Heights, San Francisco, United States.
The concrete steps extend for two blocks, featuring residential homes and gardens along both sides of the ascending pathway.
The Vulcan Steps were established in October 1925 as part of San Francisco's infrastructure development to connect different elevation levels in Corona Heights.
The stairway's name connects to Roman mythology, joining nearby streets like Saturn and Mars in a celestial naming pattern near Mount Olympus.
Residents of houses along the Vulcan Steps must transport all their belongings, furniture, and daily supplies by hand as no vehicle access exists.
The 115-foot-high staircase splits into two directions, with a wooden plank trail connecting different sections of the path.
