****Please Read Everything***
This week we are back at Angel Island for a 5.5 mile moderate Hike. The weather is supposed to be nice.
Angel Island is the largest island in area of the San Francisco Bay. The island is so large that on a clear day, Sonoma and Napa can be seen from the north side of the island;San Jose can be seen from the south side of the island. The highest point on the island, almost exactly at its center, is Mount Caroline Livermore at a height of 788 feet (240 m). The island is almost entirely in Marin County, California, although, there is a small sliver (0.7%) at the eastern end of it (Fort McDowell) which extends into the territory of the City and County of San Francisco. The Ferry leaves at 10am sharp please arrive early, that is why I put a 9:30 start time to give you time to park and walk over. If you miss the 10am ferry, the next one is 11am.
FUN and family friendly hike + ferry ride on historic Angel Island!!

What food to bring:
Bring a brown bag lunch and plenty of water. Feel free to bring some snacks to eat along the way. There are also a couple of really good cafe's on the Island. What shoes to wear:
Wear comfortable shoes with good tread. I recommend hiking shoes that protect your ankles. We will be hiking mostly off paved roads which are dirt and rocky trails.
