The Bay’s Escape

Is it still 2020? Check-out for a while and check-in to Alcatraz Island, the Bay Area’s most convenient winter getaway.
Boasting a safety-focused National Park excursion in the middle of the Bay, the family-friendly Day Tour starts with a scenic 15-minute ferry ride from San Francisco to The Rock. While Alcatraz is usually a sold-out San Francisco landmark, it is now easily accessible as a winter escape for staycationing residents.

The Agave Trail – A Selfie-Takers Dream

Most visitors know about the prison, the escapes, and the movies, but many are surprised by the beautiful views.
The Agave Trail puts the City on display while offering views from the Golden Gate to the San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge. The trail’s most notable feature, towering agave plants, are a delightful visual treat for the Island’s explorers as they make their way towards the historic Parade Ground.
Visitor access to the visually stimulating trail is seasonal, depending on nesting seasons of the Island’s bird population, and usually extends from October to mid-January.
