In this week's episode I visit the uninhabited Angel island in the the middle of the San Francisco Bay.
A hidden gem in the heart of San Francisco Bay, Angel Island is an adventure-packed escape for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike. Accessible by a scenic ferry ride, this lush island beckons with breathtaking panoramic views of the city skyline, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the sparkling bay waters.
Imagine camping along winding trails that lead you through eucalyptus groves and up to the summit of Mount Livermore, where the vistas are simply awe-inspiring. The island's rich tapestry of history unfolds at every turn, from the evocative remains of a Civil War-era military post to the poignant Immigration Station, once the "Ellis Island of the West."
Picnic spots dot the island, offering perfect settings to relax and soak in the natural beauty. Wildlife abounds, and you might spot deer grazing in the meadows or seals playing in the coves.
Angel Island State Park is not just a destination; it's an exhilarating journey through time and nature, right in the heart of the bustling Bay Area.
