The Presidio
Ensconced in San Francisco, this 1500-acre property is a national historic landmark and an old military post. When the army pulled out in 1994, the popular Presidio became a part of the impressive Golden Gate National Recreation Area. It’s a natural oasis and a huge outdoor recreation hub. The refurbished red brick ex-military structures now house such attractions as the Walt Disney Museum, hotels and restaurants. There are also numerous hiking trails and a golf course too.
