Military History - Fort McDowell

Join volunteer docents, dressed in period attire, to learn about military history on Angel Island. Fort McDowell is a 2-mile hike away from the docks and includes a paved trail and 144 steps of trail stairs. (An alternative hike that avoids the stairs adds about half a mile to the hike.) Normally closed to the public, the Guard House and Chapel will be open for visitors!

• May 2-3
• June 6-7
• July 3-5
