Free To See San Francisco

Most everyone thinks of seeing the Golden Gate Bridge when traveling to San Francisco. I know it's definitely on my bucket list.  However, few know about Fort Point, which is a fort built in 1853 at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge.  The fort is a great location for taking photos of the Golden Gate Bridge.


Fun Fact: The Golden Gate Bridge is continuously painted and repainted all the time. The bridge is so long that by the time the paint crew gets from one end to the other, it’s time to start over again.

Now, for what's Free to See!

Snoqualmie Falls

"The 270 foot drop off a ledge of volcanic rock inspired Charles Baker's vision of the world's first fully underground hydropower plant."






Snoqualmie Falls, actually only 268 feet, is Washington State's most popular waterfall.  The park offers free parking and a free viewing area.

There is an easy hiking trail, 1.2 miles round trip, to the bottom of the falls.

Tip: As you are driving towards the park, watch for overflow parking on the opposite side of the road.  It kind of jumps up on you, but will easier to get into than the parking lot right in front of the park.
