A Famous Gradient
Baldwin Street is short but remarkably steep, and the angle is hard to believe until you stand at the bottom.
Walk Up If You Like
There's time to walk part of the way up for the view and photos, or simply take pictures from the bottom.
A Short Stop
On our tours this is typically a stop of around 15 to 20 minutes.
