Fog drifts low over the bay as the coach eases across the Golden Gate Bridge; headlights carve through the marine layer and the city’s cliffs slide past like stage props.

Alcatraz served as a military fortification in the 19th century and as a federal prison from 1934 to 1963; Muir Woods was declared a National Monument in 1908 to protect its coastal redwood grove.
