Crissy Field and the golden promenade-11/22/2021

 

Today we are taking the family for a little hike on Crissy Field and the goldfen promenade located in the northern two mile stretch of the San Francisco Bay Trail.  It connects the Marina District, Crissy Field, the Presidio, and historic Fort Point.

Most of the pathways throughout Crissy Field are level making it a nice place to stroll while enjoying the vast view of San Francisco and the Golden Bridge.

 

San Francisco is known to be foggy and cold but today it was a perfect day without any clouds and the view of the Golden Bridge was unbelievable.

 

 

The beach is accessible to everyone but the water is freezing even in the summer.

 

 

 

 

 

From here you can see the city in the back ground.

Here is a better view of Fort Point, a National Historic Site Located on the Southern side of the Golden gate and at the entrance of San Francisco Bay.

The Fort was completed just before the American Civil War to defend San Francisco Bay against hostile warships.  The fort is now a popular as a tourist viewing point of the Golden Gate.
