I'm so comfortable and at home in Alaska that I wasn't sure if I wanted to take any trips outside of Alaska, but in July of 2006 I decided to take a trip to the San Francisco area to visit a friend and see some new sights. Being in such a large city wasn't as bad as I expected, and I saw and did a lot of fun things down there.
Golden Gate BridgeJuly 2006
What visit to the Bay Area would be complete without a picture or two of the Golden Gate Bridge? |
AlcatrazJuly 2006
The infamous Alcatraz with part of Fisherman's Wharf in the foreground. |
Downtown San FranciscoJuly 2006
A few shots of downtown San Francisco, one during the day and a couple of the city lights at night. |
Carmel coastal trailJuly 2006
Several shots of the coast along a coastal trail that we hiked near Carmel. |
Muir WoodsJuly 2006
I wanted to see the redwoods while I was here, and I got my wish. This is probably the biggest tree I've ever seen in my entire life. |
Ground Squirrel
A large ground squirrel was standing beside the trail watching the hikers go by. |
