## Detailed Day Plans
> **Option to look into — Alcatraz:** ferry from Pier 33, ~2.53 hrs round trip. No car needed. If the group wants it, best slotted into the **Sep 21 morning** (BART day) — reach Pier 33 via the F-line streetcar, then do downtown after. This avoids clashing with the Sep 20 morning, which Marin Headlands wants for the pre-fog bridge view. **Sells out weeks ahead — reserve early.**
> **Mondays:** some museums (incl. the de Young) are closed — check before counting on them Sep 21.
### Sep 20 — San Francisco: Golden Gate & Waterfront
> **Sights menu:** see [`sf_sights.md`](sf_sights.md) for the full candidate list.
*Car day — flexible for the north-side viewpoints BART doesn't reach.*
- **Morning** Drive to **Marin Headlands / Battery Spencer** — the classic Golden Gate Bridge panorama; go early before fog and crowds
- **Late morning** Cross back over the bridge → **Golden Gate Bridge Welcome Center** & Fort Point underneath
- **Midday** **Palace of Fine Arts****Crissy Field** (bridge + skyline)
- **Afternoon** Drive **Lombard Street** (the crooked block) → park near **Fisherman's Wharf**
