Hiking Angel Island!

 After two rainouts we finally made it to the island!

Over 20 guys turned out for a gorgeous day in the bay. A rather picturesque ferry ride took us past Alcatraz and dropped us off at Ayala Cove. I short walk up from our drop off point brought us the recently renovated Immigration Center where we ventured around the grounds. We had lunch at one of the picnic areas on our way to the the top of Mt. Livermore, the highest point on the island.

Some of us stuck around for an early dinner at Ninja Sushi where great conversation flowed freely.

A great way to while away the day in SF!

Join us for wander of the island and a (4.5 miles) hike on the Northridge trail/Sunset trail as we ascend to the peak of the island for an amazing 360 degree view of the bay.

Let's make sure to stop by the re-opened immigration/internment center to find out about the island's complicated history as a gateway for many immigrants of Asian descent to the US.

Also gives us a chance to scope out camping possibilities. There are some great tent sites on the island!

The ferry ride over ($16 round trip) from Pier 41 in San Francisco (leaves at 11:45am) itself is a treat. The ferry back to SF from the island leaves at 4:40pm.

***MEET US AT PIER 39, WHERE THEY SELL THE TICKETS BY 11:15am and we will walk over to Pier 41 for the Ferry launch together.***

Take BART/Muni if you can. The F line Muni runs right there. If you are coming by BART you can pick up the F line Muni next to the Embarcadero BART station in front of the Ferry Building.
