Former military base, now a beautiful park that includes Crissy Field, Fort Point, Lucasfilm’s (George Lucas) headquarters and the Walt Disney Museum.

Fort Point National Historic Site

Located just beneath the Golden Gate Bridge, Fort Point gives you a front row seat to the Bay and is a great photo stop. This former military fortification was used during WWII.

Strep hills and steps but there is a tram to take you to the top and back down. Auto headset was perfect due to actual inmates speaking.
