Hiking on 5/30/15, Angel Island

 Angel Island-2 The Angel Island is the largest natural island in the San Francisco Bay, which offers a 360°view to the SFO Bay.  We will walk along the paved Perimeter Road circle the Island, and visit the Immigration Station concentration camp at the north.  The whole trip is about 6 miles.

There are two ways to get to Angel Island State Park by ferry: On the Angel Island Tiburon Ferry out of Tiburon or on a Blue & Gold Fleet boat out of San Francisco.  The Tiburon’s schedule is not good to us.  We will take the Blue & Gold Fleet’s first scheduled ferry to the Island.  The Blue & Gold Fleet’s Angel Island service operates from San Francisco’s Pier 41 and the San Francisco Ferry Building’s Gate B.

Beginning on May 2, 2015, there is connecting ferry operating by San Francisco Ferry from Oakland/Alameda to Blue & Gold Fleet at Francisco to Angel Island.  It is the most convenient way for people traveling to Angel Island at East & South Bay.

So, you can either take ferry at San Francisco, or Oakland to Angel Island on 5/30/2015.   The departure time from Oakland Jack London is 9:00am.  The departure time at SFO Ferry Bldg is 9:20am, and 9:40am at Pier 41.  (Please refer to the departure schedule details from the provided links below. )  The scheduled arrival time to the Island is at 10:10am.  We will meet there, and start our trip at 10:30am.  We will leave there by taking the 3:20pm ferry.  The arrival time to San Francisco is 3:45.  Due to the ferry connecting route, the arrival time to Oakland will be 5:20pm.
