On the North side of the Golden Gate Bridge is the Marin Headlands area.  We enjoyed stopping here and taking in the evening sunset.  Very pretty area with amazing views of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco.  Look closely and you can see Fort Point under the bridge on the south end of the bridge and Alcatraz Island in the bay. Speaking of Alcatraz, I have not posted any pictures or that location on this site but I did visit on two earlier trips to San Francisco and I whole heartedly recommend visiting the island and touring the prison.  I found it’s history and stories fascinating and it is hard to imagine being imprisoned there.
