Bay Bridge – Blue Angels/Fleet Week Hike (Bay Bridge Staging Area)

A mix of Fleet Week and the Blue Angels and a walk on The Bay Bridge Trail, which is a part of the San Francisco Bay Trail. A Nice walk all the way to Yerba Buena Island from Oakland on the new Bay Bridge. We will enjoy lovely views of the Bay and the bridge, stunning views of sailboats, giant freighters and possibly cruise ships and harbor ferries from above. The Air show goes from 12noon - 4pm, with the Blue Angles performing from 3-4pm. Remember always dress in layers, can be lovely & warm one moment and chilly and cold the next. Well enjoy the walk out there together, then everyone can move at their own pace finding places to enjoy the show, restaurants and bars and head back to the parking area on their own pace. Note: There is a ferry boat going to San Francisco from treasure Island (check times) for those who take public transportation or Ride share to the Hike starting point....
