The largest natural island in San Francisco Bay, Angel Island—a California state park—is often overshadowed by the much smaller Alcatraz Island. Yet with an equally interesting history as a West Coast version of Ellis Island, Angel Island also offers hiking, biking, and picnicking, all with views of the San Francisco Bay, city skyline, and Golden Gate Bridge.

Distance: Approximately 8 miles. Elevation gain: Approximately 800 feet.

Please Note: Part of this hike will be a guided, silent, walking meditation. Please come prepared to walk quietly and with your senses attuned to your surroundings.

Directions: ANGEL ISLAND IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE BY FERRY. To get to the Island, you have 2 recommended choices:

1. Drive to the Angel Island ferry parking lot in Tiburon, and catch the ferry to the Island: https://angelislandferry.com/schedule/ (for schedule and cost-PURCHASING TICKETS ON THIS SITE AHEAD OF TIME IS RECOMMENDED).
2. Take Ferry from San Francisco: https://www.goldengate.org/ferry/route-schedule/?RouteId=165&backurl=%2Fferry%2Fschedules-maps%2F (for schedules and cost);
