This place is absolutely gorgeous. I would suggest going down to the pier and going on one of the boat tours that go under the bridge and take you for a tour around Alcatraz. The scale of the bridge is unbelievable. It s also neat to take the car over. There is a scenic overlook after you cross the bridge that is worth the trek by car. Muir Woods is also just up the hill all together making for a beautiful day.
