FULL MOON HIKE:
THE WAVE ORGAN and PLACE OF FINE ARTS
There's so much history in this iconic city of ours -
let's explore the historical gems that make people leave their hearts in San Francisco!
What to Expect:
An easy but scenic hike from the Aquatic Park to the Wave Organ and towards the Place of Fine Arts! We will start at the Clubhouse and then walk towards the Aquatic Park, with it's beautiful ships and a fantastic view of the Bay and Alcatraz. Walking then through Fort Mason Park where we will be able to view the Marina and the Golden Gate Bridge. We will pass by some of the architectural wonders of SF, The Palace of Fine Arts, and then hike our way to the hidden path which will lead us to The Wave Organ! After the hike we will head out to the bar to get some drinks!
What is Wave Organ?
Located on a jetty in the San Francisco Bay, the Wave Organ was built in 1986. The Wave Organ includes more than 20 pipes that extend down into the water of the Bay. When the waves roll in, the pipes resound with liquid music: low, gurgling notes that ebb and flow with the restless movement of the ocean and the changing of the tides. So.. who's ready to hear some ocean music??
Palace of Fine Arts
It's a reminder of San Francisco's past, a symbol of the city's creative spirit, and one of the most dramatic backdrops for your Instagram feed.
The Palace of Fine Arts is a monumental structure originally constructed for the 1916 Panama-Pacific Exposition in order to exhibit works of art presented there. If it weren't for the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, the entire Marina neighborhood might never have existed.
It's an absolute must-see and especially during the Full Moon!
