Spent a day in San Francisco, CA. So much to see. First of all, drove across the Golden Gate Bridge and then stopped at the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Within this park, there are several more National Park sites. We visited three of them. I will tell you a little about each one as I share the pictures.
(I also must say that we visited San Fran about two weeks ago, before the wildfires began. We drove through many of the areas north of Sand Fran that the fires are now raging through. It is hard to believe that so much beautiful land and so many homes and businesses are being destroyed.)
Golden Gate Bridge; we were fortunate enough to have a clear day and we could see the bridge.
Below the Golden Gate Bridge is Fort Point National Historical Site. Fort Point defended San Francisco bay following the California Gold Rush through World War II. The building is beautiful and quite large. We were disappointed that it is only open on the weekend, so we didn't get to go inside.
San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park is located in the Fisherman's Wharf area. There is a visitor's center and then you can walk across the street and see some of the big ships.

The last part of the Golden Gate Recreation area that we visited was the famous and infamous Alcatraz. I am going to cover that in a different post, so stay tuned.
