The Journey
Alcatraz Island

Take the Cellhouse audio tour to hear chilling tales of life behind bars and escape attempts. The ferry ride to the island offers stunning views of the San Francisco skyline. Book your timed departure well in advance, as tickets often sell out. Experience the eerie atmosphere and imagine what life was like for inmates and guards alike on 'The Rock'.
Muir Woods National Monument
Immerse yourself in the tranquil grandeur of Muir Woods National Monument, a sanctuary of towering ancient redwood trees. Wander through the cathedral-like groves, where sunlight filters through the canopy hundreds of feet above. Breathe in the fresh, earthy scent of the forest and feel dwarfed by the immense scale of these natural giants, some of which are over 1,000 years old. Note that the $15 admission fee is separate and parking reservations are required, plan accordingly. It's a truly serene escape from the bustling city, and an unforgettable encounter with nature's majesty.
