Descend into the urban Glen Park Canyon from Christopher Playground near the Diamond Heights Safeway. Turn left into the wooded area right before the last set of stairs and keep going horizontally at roughly the same elevation. Climb over the rocks that are in the way and keep following the path going slightly downward.

Keep going until you have the rec center to your right below, and climb up the stairs leading to Sussex St. At the top, turn left on Diamond Heights Blvd, then proceed upwards towards Berkeley Way. When Diamond Heights Blvd bends to the right, enter Berkeley Way and take the Onique Ln stairs up to Gold Mine Dr. Turn left and follow Gold Mine Dr all the way up, past Jade Pl, when you'll find a set of stairs to the left, decorated with mirrors, which descend down to the Safeway in the shopping center.
