Had Mister SF
been raised in the City, he might have spent his entire childhood playing
Planet of the Apes at Battery Godfrey. The bluff top ruin sits high
above the ocean on the west side of the Golden Gate. The three gun battery
served during World War I and part of World War II before being taken out
of service in 1943. Today it is an intersection of the imagination, with
awe inspiring views that are unique among San Francisco overlooks. Anyone
who thinks the dynamic natural environment of the bay simply stops on the
other side of the gate bridge is in for a big surprise. Hikers can enter
the coast trail through here. Access is through a parking lot on Langdon
Court, off Lincoln Boulevard in the Presidio. Battery Godfrey is one of
several artillery positions that once protected the coast from invasion.
Caution: cruisy.
