Golden Gate National Recreational Area – California (2018)

Images of Golden Gate National Recreational Area – North Eastern California, taken in August 2018.

Golden Gate National Recreational Area includes almost 81,000 acres in the San Francisco area stretching from outside of the Point Reyes National Seashore in the north to just south of Half Moon Bay in the south. It is the nation’s largest national park unit in an urban setting. The park includes the San Francisco Presidio, Fort Point National Historic Site, Alcatraz Island and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Anytime you’re visiting the Bay area at this time of year you have to be a little lucky to get a clear, fog free day. I went through the park several times increasing my chances of a nice day but fog is a big part of this area so I wasn’t particularly troubled if it was present. As long as you can get a glimpse of what you are trying to see it may even add to your experience whether you’re looking down the roadway of the Golden Gate Bridge, outside the cellhouse on Alcatraz Island or on the top deck of Fort Point.
