We visited Fort Funston on a beautiful, warm February day (trust me, this locale is never this warm — summer or winter), and above is a panorama taken from the cliff top. The promontory peeking out from behind the cliff in the photo’s the far right and left sides is Point San Pedro, which is the seaward foot of Montara Mountain. Mt. Tamalpais, in Marin county, is in the photo’s center. Barely visible to the left of Mt. Tamalpais is Point Reyes National Seashore. The San Andreas Fault runs from the gap between Mt. Tam and Pt. Reyes offshore to Mussel Rock, which is visible at the foot of Montara Mountain (it’s the dark sea stack visible to the right of the apex of the shoreline’s bend). San Francisco is visible just to the right of the large, sandy, grassy hummock in the photo’s center. Fort Funston is located in San Francisco’s southwestern most corner, and is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
