More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You emerge from the chauffeur-driven SUV under a cool coastal fog, the Golden Gate's iron arch receding behind you as Fort Baker slides into view and sparkling wine is passed around like a welcome note. The drive north feels deliberate — a ribbon of coastline, a pause for photographs at the bridge, then the redwood canopy opening up in Muir Woods where trunks rise like slow-moving columns of time.
