Nike Missile Site SF-88L (Part 1) - Golden Gate NRA - Marin County, CA

On the 7th December 2024, my parents and I took a trip to Nike Missile Site SF-88L at Marin Headlands in Golden Gate National Recreation Area in Marin County CA, and Sausalito, CA. It was very smoggy in the SF Bay Area, so there weren't many photo opportunities. I took photos on my phone and on my Olympus mirrorless camera, and the photos are split into 3 posts. I hope you enjoy viewing my photos!
