Beautiful views in a quiet neighborhood ❤️

The stairs are Awesome. A great work out and very peaceful in the morning. If you looking to watch a sunrise u can not see that from the stairs u will have to drive around on the neighboring streets. If u want a sunrise My Helix has a better View.

Visiting some friends and did some up hill cardio. Good mini workout if youre from the area. Not to steep and good break areas in between.

I love little hidden spots like this! Just a bunch of stairs in the middle of a neighborhood. Great for a workout outside enjoying the views! Im not sure how many stairs but enough. Its really beautiful and peaceful and the views are great. Just be respectful cause it is right in the middle of peoples homes.

Wheather your fitness or your fatness level is high, these 425 steps will challenge you! (Dont forget about the other half around the bend) You can find people and their k9s at all levels enjoying this awesome workout spot and amazing views

I wanted to the first landing, I walked back down. No problem. Then I ran up and walked back down twice. No problem. Two days later? Calves are so sore... This is a lonely stress to get some steps in. Parking is a challenge, but I found some. I cant wait to do it again.

I love it! Excellent challenge

A great place to exercise. be ready theres over 400 steps. You feel the burn in your legs

Great place to feel the burn! Had a complete stranger tell me “Great Job” as I reached the top of the stairs

Great place to workout!

Great experience...a little exercise, scenic views and a little history to boot. It is a bit of a hike so be prepared stretch and bring some water.

This a great outside place foe a work out with awesome views!

Great views. Fun place for a quick stair climb.

I enjoyed walking the stairs today. I will defiantly go again. Nice safe area.

Lovely view, not difficult but great workout

Such a cute neighborhood to walk through and explore.

Good burn on legs ..Pain is good hahaha

Great work out. Even better view when you get to the top. 245 steps.

So disappointed today when we went to one of favorite places to get a workout. Closed! 😕

These are but the ruins of something that was secret not because it was great but because it was necessary. there should be four stairs......la mesa continues to be systematically destroyed in this way. gonna be a loooonnnnngggggggg day......

Yeah.. That was hard enough. Dont hurt yourself.. Youll be fine

This is a great workout. We meet at 8, started at 8:10 and if we werent stopping to yap the whole time, it would have taken about 25 minutes for all three sets. Coming back down at 9:20, the stairs were suddenly very crowded. This is the reason for a 4. Go early to avoid the crowd!

Beautiful views. Great workout.

Great way to get in some exercise. Be prepared you are going to feel it when your done, however nothing to be concerned about. If you have bad knees and ankles just wear a wrap and you will be fine. Enjoy, be safe and respect the neighborhood.

Love this place, breathtaking views, very peaceful

Good stuff. Stay away for now because of the social distancing and whatnot but theyre a great workout

It is no longer a secret. Lots of people.

We saw this in a news article and thought we would come check it out. There were a few others climbing the stairs but it was pretty quiet. I was hoping there was a view from the top and did not get that. But it was a fun time and good exercise. My legs started to get numb by the time we reached the top.

Nice for walk 🚶‍♀️🚶 up and down

If its the secret stairs how come everybody knows about it

Thrilled this is in my neighborhood. A stimulating walk with so many views of varied terrain, architecture and flora. A great sunset viewing area. Be prepared to pass a lot of sweaty people using the stairs as a means to workout.

Outdoor stairs, surrounded by beautiful gardens, vegetation and lovely homes. People going up and down exercising; its fun but it can be demanding, especially in hot weather. The stairs lead to La Mesa village with restaurants, coffee shops and all kind of stores. From the top of the hill to the village it can take 20 minutes. No bathrooms along the way. Pet friendly.

Killer but well worth it. Plus the view on top is beautiful

I really enjoy this one mile urban hike. Not heavily trafficked. Remember to respect the residents in the area while youre climbing the stairs.

What a great workout!! Once you huff and puff your way up to the very top… thank heavens for handrails... then you will enjoy a spectacular view of the wonderful city of La Mesa.

I never knew these were here until now. Great fitness diversion from SAME-O, SAME-O. Run the stairs, then run to La Mesa Village to treat yourself for a good booty workout. Gorgeous weather and gorgeous view. One of the best fitness surprises Ive ever had.

What a great spot to add a little bit extra to your workout! Ran out here, then ran up... some of these steps. Ran up half, then realized I wasnt done. I plan on keeping this in my route list for future early morning runs. What a view from the top too- must be nice to sit on some of these patios!

Great workout with not too many ppl. The view of San Diego from the stairs is also beautiful, you can see downtown and Coronado.

Great excercises

Love to go for walked I invited my friends to go there, actually Monday a lot of my friend go the with there friend..Love it.♥️♥️♥️

First time for the gym during outside in covid 19, and without the outage either

Well if you like walking up stairs.. well this fun and easy stroll.

I was working at the top of the stairs doing some plumbing at one of the houses. One of the greatest perks of the job was the incredible view of this area. Definitely check this out .

Great workout, decent view at the top. Daily regimen, or working off a recent meal this long staircase works wonders!

Beautiful please

Over 700 stairs of fun. We spent a while treking up and down. Shady spots along the way to stop for a water break. Really fun.

I went on a Sunday around 0630 and for the most part I had the stairs all to myself. I did lunges, squats, pushups...you name it. It was fun, area is quiet and definitely a great workout. Try it out to switch up the workouts. I will be back

240+ steps going up. About 188 steps going down. Once you get to the top, walk about 10 houses to your left and you will see the steps going down. On the way down youll see a fabulous view of the city below. Note, this will not take you to Windsor where you started on the way up. Youll have to use Google Maps to lead you back where you parked. Be aware that these steps goes through a residential area. Please respect their privacy!

So this place is not all that crazy or unique. What makes it unique is the view it has over the city. Go during sunset or sunrise and just enjoy from between houses and trees the view. Its a series of about 245 (yes I counted each one) steps and about 5-6 delights of stairs. The very first set it long and pretty and at the top of the stairs you can see the sky and the city below. Its in a neighborhood so be wary of cars, people, and children.

Cool place to smoke pot. Dont go at night

Always a good work out! Face yourself! Push yourself! Always remember to look around you and enjoy Gods beautiful creation ❤

This is a beautiful and peaceful neighborhood with old world charm. The secret stairs make you feel like you are in Europe. So quaint (and quite a good workout).

Best exercise I ever got. Steep stairs that just keep going

Great place to get a good cardio workout in. One of my favorite activities to get ready for a race.

I love coming here and doing the stairs! I try and do them 3 times and run up them 2 at a time! 💪🏻🏃‍♀️

Challenging 4 All fitness types..depends on U, scenery picturesque, neighbor hood friendly, easy to access..not known by many Keeps It quaint ;)

Great work out..great view.

Easily the best stairs available in East county!

After my first time walking the steps I kept going back. The earlier you go the better less people. Im now going up 4 x what to work up to 10x this help me do the 5 peak challenges.

Absolutely love this place! You can certainly look forward to an amazing outdoor workout here.

Great place to take photos. Also if you want to exercise. Lots of stairs it’s a workout.

If you want a good exercise just run up and down these stairs!

Awesome for quick anaerobic stair run! There are two flights of stairs, one that goes up the hill starting at Windsor, and another that goes downhill due east. So you have options to do one round or two.

Love the stairs.I live on Date ave.So when I walk the stairs,I call it going up top.Good view up there.Rock on!

Very well kept and hidden park in La Mesa! Stairs can be used for a very intense workout and the views are just priceless. Mind the neighbors though, and refrain from being loud.

A friend of mine surprised me with this workout...fairly easy...but not for the weak for sure....

Challenging yet doable. Beautiful views also!

Nice set of steps to get the heart rate up. Its a quick lil workout recommend doing 2 or 3 times to feel the burn

Intense!

A pleasant stroll with some nice landscaping and views of the valley.

Great aerobic exercise. Some people run up and down them several times in an hour. We are not strong enough yet.

Awesome outdoor local spit for a brilliant workout!!!

Theyre a quick way to get up Mount Nebo.

Great workout, decent view at the top.

I was about to hit the traffic coming home and decided to do this instead. Best decision ever.

Beautiful views and a great place to listen to local San Diego band Pinback on headphones.

Great for cardio workout. It is simply a set of stairs nestled within La Mesas suburban hills in which you may or may not get a good view overlooking downtown La Mesa.I recommend these stairs as a nice detour from high traffic attractions in La Mesa and it is a good incline challenge.

The best morning exercise 🌹🦋🤸‍♀️💞👍

Beautiful view from top. Nice workout for your legs, but not too intense.

Great way to build muscles. Beautiful views!

Such a beautiful walk not to mention a good workout!

Amazing. I didnt think I could get burned out going up and downstairs, but after my third time, I was exhausted.

If you enjoy a Leg, Thigh and Butt workout, find these stairs and go for it!

Good set of stairs to get a good work out in for your legs.

This is a great place to go, get out and work out. Take it slow and steady or you will end up throwing up at the top of the last flight of stairs like I did.

Even on a gloomy rainy day it was beautiful, peaceful and scenic

The hardest step is the first one...choosing to really do it. u can, u could, u will be happy u did it.

Great climb and rhe secret stair with my son getting our workout in..

Great area to do stair climbing for exercises.

Bueatiful views with a butt kicker workout can you ask for more?

Definitely worth it if you do it more than once😃💪

Love it here. Great workout.

Good workout, make sure you bring water!

Best kept secret of La Mesa where locals like to go exercise. A bit hard to find so keep an eye out for street parking

I have been in this area for awhile and barely just visited this place for the first time a couple weeks ago. its a really good work out with a pretty view, ive come back 4 times since

Was nice to be able to cut through a short xut

Definitely a workout. Second time Ive been there and kicked my butt.

Great exercise great views.

Great place for a quick sweat and leg burn out!

Great place to get some exercise. Beautiful area.
