Alcatraz — the surprising rock.
— Doug McConnell
If you don’t mind being incarcerated for a little while, take a look at our story on the movie history of Alcatraz. Alcatraz gets about a million visitors a year…..and people go there for all kinds of reasons. It’s one of my favorite places in the San Francisco Bay Area. It has an absolutely and literally unique ecosystem, a layered and complex history (the Federal Penitentiary years were only a part of the story) and views to die for (few actually did.) I’m ready to talk about The Rock any time you are. And go to the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and the Golden Gate National Park Conservancy for more information.
