About the event
This 6 mile hike around the perimeter loop with 500’ elevation gain is about 30% shaded. We’ll take the 10 am ferry from Tiburon to Angel Island and hike the main road around the island, visiting many historical areas along the way and we take the 3:00 PM ferry back to Tiburon. We’ll enjoy spectacular views (unless we’re fogged in) and learn some of the rich history of the largest island in the SF Bay. Roundtrip ferry fare from Tiburon to Angel Island is $16 for 65+ seniors and includes your entrance fee to Angel Island State Park. All day parking fee at the Point Tiburon parking lot is $16. Bring money, water, lunch, and hiking poles if desired. Hike leader is Gary Andersen, 360-778-9604.
For those who are not up to hiking, there is an option for you to take a 1 hour tram tour of the island and there is plenty to see within an easy flat walking distance from the ferry landing. Two Tram Tour times are 11:45 - 12:45 and 1:45 - 2:45 and it is recommended that you book your tickets on line (they usually have a few tickets available on site). Senior tram tickets are $17.00
