Join Bea for a day on Angel Island to explore visit the historic sites ( immigration center, camp Camp Reynolds (West Garrison) Fort McDowell (East Garrison). There is a $5.00 entrance fee to museum, The museum is open from 11:00-2:00
. We will meet at the San Francisco Ferry Building for a easy 3+mile scenic hike along wooded trails circling Angel Island. San Francisco Bay breezes should provide a nice hike for a hot day. Bring a lunch for our stop at the picnic benches. This hike will be limited to a maximum of 30 people, so please be prompt in updating your RSVP if you find yourself unable to attend. NO DOGS are allowed on Angel Island.
Hikers are encouraged to take Bart to the Embarcadero, then make the short walk to the Ferry Building. We will meet at Gate B 9:10 to catch the 9:25 Angel Island ferry. Clipper Card Round Trip tickets are $19.50 ($16 senior). Make sure that you have at least $20 on your Clipper Card. If you are not using Clipper to purchase your ferry ticket, you will need to purchase a ticket at Ferry Building Gate C. Be sure to purchase a round trip ticket since no ticket purchase is available on the island. I recommend that you get to the Ferry Building no later than 9:00 to allow sufficient time for worry free ticket purchase. We will be returning to the Ferry Building on the 2:35pm ferry, which will get you back to the Ferry Building at 3:10pm.
