22nd St Hill

San Francisco


The prize for SF's steepest street is shared by this street and Filbert St (between Hyde and Leavenworth). Both have 31.5% grades (17-degree slopes), but 22nd St's longer and there's not much traffic. Daredevils can't resist skating or cycling down it, trying not to fly headfirst off their wheels – but as their moms might say, helmets please.
