I have six reasons around San Francisco

[mizeltrip]

First, San Francisco with USA West Coast city offers visitors scenic view which stunning in its beauty and scope begins from The Pacific Ocean, San Francisco Bay, until the Golden Gate Bridge. Golden Gate Bridge connects the North Bay, Marin County to San Francisco. “That bridge is more than a bridge, it’s alive, it speaks to people. Some people come here, find themselves, and leave, some come here, find themselves, and jump.
Second, Alcatraz Island is rich in history, natural side to the Rock - gardens, tide pools, bird colonies, and bay views beyond compare. It is a close-up look at the site of the first lighthouse, 1.5 miles offshore from San Francisco, California. The small island served as a federal prison until 1963. Today, the island is a historic site operated by the National Park Service and is open to tours. from San Francisco you can make hiking, sightseeing and exploring in the amazing natural wilderness of Yosemite National ParkOther reasons read at mizeltripdotnet.

If you are visiting the western USA, specially towards California or San Fransico, make sure you visit the Glass Beach.

Glass Beach is in Mackerricher state park near Fort Bragg, California, that is abundant in sea glass; created from years of dumping garbage into an area of coastline near the northern part of the town.
