 | |  |  | SF Views: I could go on forever, but for... | |  |  | |  |
I could go on forever, but for now, one of the most goregous views of the SF skyline, pacific ocean and the GG bridge. Drive north on CA 101, pass the GG bridge. Take the second exit, Alexander. At the stop sign a left turn. It will swing you back the direction you orignally came from but under the freeway. Take the road lead up the mountainside. When you see the ocean, park your car. This road leads to numerous vista, parks, include Muir Woods. If you time this excursion right around sunset, its breathtaking. Leave a Comment

It is one of Sf Hills, we got there from the Haight District and spent wonderful nights watching over the city and the fog.

| | | | SF Views: USS San Francisco Memorial - Lincoln Park | | | | | |
Located at the area known as Land's End in Lincoln Park is the USS San Francisco Memorial, created in honor of the crew of this ship who died, were wounded, and who served during World War II. The USS San Francisco was a heavy cruiser built in 1931 and commissioned in 1934. During World War II, the San Francisco saw more combat than almost any other ship in the US Navy at such locations as Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, and Okinawa. On 13 November 1942, in a fierce battle near Guadalcanal, the San Francisco suffered at least 45 hits, lost its command bridge, and 100 sailors were killed including the commanding officer Admiral Daniel Callaghan. During the ship's repairs the bridge was removed and replaced and the San Francisco returned to action for the remainder of the war. The bridge was saved and placed here at Land's End for the USS San Francisco Memorial, along with several plaques telling the history of the ship and listing its dead and wounded. Most impressive are the huge holes torn into the steel sides of the bridge from the direct hits by a Japanese ship. The USS San Francisco Memorial is at Land's End in Lincoln Park as part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. From the city take Clement Street west to its end at 48th Street then a right on El Camino Del Mar to the large parking area. Leave a Comment Website: http://www.usssanfrancisco.org/
