3 days in San Francisco Itinerary

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Muir Woods National Monument and San Francisco Bay. When in San Francisco, make a side trip to see Dipsea Trail in Mill Valley, approximately Mill Valley away. There's lots more to do: stroll through Lands End, step off the mainland to explore Alcatraz Island, go on a hair-raising tour with a ghost and vampire tour, and examine the collection at Cable Car Museum.
