59) Fort Point National Historic Site

Visited: Friday, June 29th, 2012

There are many NPS sites with fantastic views - but typically, the views are of nature and natural beauty, rather than of man-made structures.  But one of the most notable aspects of Fort Point is the views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz.  Nothing against the fort, but it's not strongly developed, and not ideally suited for self-tours.  But it's in fantastic condition, and historically - well, similar to Fort Warren in Boston Harbor, really, in having been more important for what it was there for, rather than for what actually happened there.
