Angel Island State Park: Exploring the Perimeter Trail & Immigration Station

Angel Island State Park: Exploring the Perimeter Trail & Immigration Station
Angel Island is about 30 minutes off the coast of San Francisco and it has dozens of miles of hiking trails and lots of history. Amie and I took a trip over to explore it and really enjoyed all of the amazing things there is to see on the island. Be sure to plan more time to explore then we did though!

Master Emerald still hasn't been returned yet I see

[@rileyshales5306]

Full of sonic references..I love it

[@ryank2780]

Thats literally the only thing on my mind when I saw that this Island existed

[@MetalJuggalo]

I always thought angel island was from sonic

[@robloxianryden7733]

Angel island theme plays

[@LatteWiiU]

Did you see knuckles and the master emerald there?

[@screane5739]

Sonic Fans on their way to set and island on fire (it's an epic Sonic 3 reference)

[@bmpmxnbs9620]

And the red equidnas??

[@LatteWiiU]

Echidnas*

[@MetalJuggalo]

yeah, but they'll beat you for your chaos emeralds

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

I had no idea there were so many buildings on the island and that it had so much history! I have friends that take their boat there pretty often, but they never told us there was so much to it! Very cool 👍

[@californiathroughmylens]

Travel Small Live Big ya I was surprised when I went as well. I didn’t expect it to have as much on it

[@joseyquintana3385]

Good stuff. I remember coming here back when I was in 6th grade and now Im in college. Great memories with my class

[@megaboygamer]

Did you find the master emerald?

[@segaking5846]

What if there is a 3ft green diamond there but its just hidden?

[@moonlitmoss_]

I stayed overnight there with a group. We kayaked to the island and also kayaked back. We stayed in this museum like house called "the bake house" and at night me and meh friend sang Hamilton songs for everyone. Best night ever. 💙

[@sonic2003albe]

where knuckles

[@MetalJuggalo]

dead

[@violetbf3773]

Thank you Josh, as always, your videos have all the information needed. And those views!! You always find the best spots for those amazing views. I can’t wait to go there.

[@californiathroughmylens]

Violet BF thanks for the comment! The views were awesome but I can’t imagine how amazing if it would have been a clear day!

[@bobbyboombeck]

I'm camping her right now. Do note there are several campsites here. You can also grab the ferry from Tiburon which is $12 and it takes about 15 minutes to get across. It's great to hike here after everyone leaves. It's like your own private island and with all the old abandoned buildings it's really cool.

[@TheDenisedrake]

Excellent video! I want to explore my state and am looking forward to following your guides. Thanks!

[@californiathroughmylens]

TheDenisedrake so awesome! Have fun exploring!

[@julietstewart6797]

Remember All Dogs Go to Heaven the second movie and the series it takes place in San Francisco and Brooke (my oc and David's oldest cousin) wpuld sometimes hangout at Angel Island with Charlie and Itchy

[@toshibavoodoo]

AWESOME! Missed a few videos, can't wait to catch up! Love Alcatraz, great experience.

[@californiathroughmylens]

toshibavoodoo I love Alcatraz as well, such a fun spot to explore

[@prisonmike5633]

0/10 didn’t get to see knuckles

[@The_real_B-dubber]

I am also quite upset

[@cutproductions]

There is also a Nike missile site on the north side of the Golden Gate bridge in the Marin Headlands. On weekends its staffed by volunteers and they actually raise the missile into firing position and lower it into the "garage" underground. It's pretty cool! Great video.

[@toshibavoodoo]

The cove is beautiful!!

[@theathjr]

Great job you two giving us a taste of Angel Island! I cant wait to check it out some day ! Thanks !

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks for the comment and have fun if you explore the island!

[@IcedCakes-X]

@@californiathroughmylens I just hope that it doesn’t get set on fire in act 2

[@Nobodyfromelsewhere]

@@IcedCakes-X Yeah same, I heard the boss was a mini flamethrower :/

[@dlo1335]

Thanks for the tips👍

[@pappysproductions]

Another great video my man!

[@ericparazak8448]

where master emerald?

[@eva-nr2bs]

Your videos are so relaxing to watch ! :-)

[@EpicConspiracy]

You guys are really one of the few KZbin people that really make my 4k TV pop. Great video again.

[@californiathroughmylens]

I am glad to hear that all of the frustration I have editing 4K footage makes is worth it! Thanks for the comment.

[@integral]

Nice one. I just made reservations for tomorrow morning, and yeah we're still going to be doing the COVID discipline but that should be no problem on Angel Island. From what you've shown I'm sure we'll be going back to spend more time there.

[@alexanderbecauseidk]

“Get in boys were goin to find the master emerald!”

[@nobodyhikes]

Very informative, thank you. Loving your channel! If you ever camp there, I highly recommend site #4. It's a bit exposed but has good privacy and a great view of the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges. The hike to the summit is also incredible.

[@californiathroughmylens]

nobodyhikes such a great tip, appreciate it! I hope to camp there one day

[@julietstewart6797]

Is camp Reynolds named after Burt Reynolds

[@bundangmark]

Thanks for the video!

[@MrJeep75]

Cool stuff

[@johnnyutah6056]

Loving these videos dude👍

[@californiathroughmylens]

Johnny Utah thanks, appreciate it!

[@mrpugsilotes]

Knock knock it’s knuckles

[@dudnutent]

I went to angel island for my 5 grade school field trip and this video is so nostalgic

[@jimmster5224]

Did you find the hedgehog

[@ryank2780]

Did you find the Master Emerald

[@GoogleAccount-ox6em]

where big glowing rock

[@brujitacrafty]

That was awesome, had no idea that island is there.

[@californiathroughmylens]

CF R yea, this was my first visit too!

[@cosmicalize]

Is there a hydrocity under the water?

[@izzycatmagic56]

Yes

[@trexinvert]

Great video, again. I lived up there for a short time, my favorite spot away from silicon valley was Santa Cruz. Maybe you can add that to your list, but like everything up in bay area(weather) it's best to wait till spring/summer. Keep on.

[@californiathroughmylens]

I have been wanting to get back to Santa Cruz for a while now. Hopefully soon!

[@AzafuseKingTora]

But.... what about the Echidna?

[@phyllispetras3369]

Take your bike and a picnic!!!!

[@anotherfashionlad]

Oh hey! Ran into y'all on my way into camp. One of the trails was partially collapsed on the way up to the peak. Glad to see the final product.

[@californiathroughmylens]

Great to hear from you! How did you find the video? How was the camping on the island?

[@anotherfashionlad]

@@californiathroughmylens it was pretty nice. I was the only camper according to the Ranger lol. Night hikes we're fun, and great views. Found the vid when searching for more info since I want to go back soon and wondering if I missed some cool footage.

[@CarrCrafts]

Thanks for the video. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@californiathroughmylens]

iTravel California no problem!

[@shayla.slayla]

I am watching this video because my school is going on a 6 day trip there so this helped me prepare

[@robbuglass6199]

Cool:)

[@nagaempress]

I miss being able to go through the Batterys. Now they have them filled in and a lost part of history.

[@amyx3843]

Want to go back there so bad

[@ssg-eggunner]

What a nice island! I sure do hope that no egg shaped head evil scientist burns it!

[@gusmarquez1715]

Hi Josh! Thanks for your great videos ! We just visited McCloud & Burney Falls thanks to your videos. Does the ferry departure time directly correlate to the arrival time? Considering this and the Pinnacles Peaks weather permitting on our way back home.

[@matthewortiz9428]

How many rings did you collect?

[@DanTutorial]

ZERO

[@rickgonzales7914]

I claimed too the top!

[@salfeola3154]

Are bicycles allowed on Angel Island? I don’t want to rent a bike. I want to bring my own. So it would be nice to know if bicycles are allowed on the ferry? I just subscribed. Your channel is very informative and will allow me to get out and see my state

[@MiguelReyes-fh6or]

Can u take bikes on the ferry?

[@jimmster5224]

I heard there was a fire on that Island and a hedgehog

[@1famousd]

Can you camp on there overnight?

[@justgn7454]

Now set it on fire, this will be Act 2.

[@becauseiexistlmao]

Now fall on a mysterious Water place

[@cosmicalize]

Funny thing is, I heard that the California Wildfires were close to Angel Island, so it's kinda similar to the actual game!

[@916n0rcal]

I went there on a field trip in 4th grade, a good ol 15 years ago 😂😂

[@californiathroughmylens]

Josh Ramirez that’s an awesome spot for a field trip!

[@916n0rcal]

@@californiathroughmylens definitely! Video makes me want to check it out again!

[@DanielKwan]

Can you bike around the entire island? Or are there places where you must walk (like a large flight of stairs)?

[@californiathroughmylens]

I believe you can pretty much bike the entire thing. There are stairs that provide a shortcut to the beach but I believe there is a bike path you can take that goes around them

[@DanielKwan]

Cool thanks!

[@starwarsmontagemadigan1758]

Better not get caught by knuckles!

[@julieh3327]

Is it possible to get an earlier ferry so that you can spend more time on the island? Or get a later ferry? This is some place we have not been and always wanted to go there. Hopefully we can get there sometime.

[@californiathroughmylens]

Julie H yep there was an earlier ferry that day that we should have taken haha

[@supersonikimmy]

Apparently this island used to float in the sky...

[@CONGATAIL]

Where is the Huge Emerald

[@phyllispetras3369]

If you do not get the last boat, you will spend the night there and you can see stars!!!

[@JaydenGonzalez-rs7le]

And ghost 👻

[@averysove658]

Fr

[@knife-wieldingspidergod5059]

Can you fly drone there?

[@elizabethblane201]

We did.

[@neryderps9713]

Be careful dont fall in the water or else you’ll end up in hydrocity and most likely drown

[@SuperFreddy64-mp5ew]

Where’s Knuckles?

[@aarongoldstein4387]

First, the animals at Pier 39 are California Sea Lions; Pinnipeds in the family Otariidae - distinct from true seals(phocids) and the walrus (odobenids). You can also get to Angel Island from Tiburon. Adult round trip $15. angelislandferry.com

[@elizabethblane201]

I was going to point out the seals vs. sea lions thing. I also took the ferry from Tiburon.

[@JaydenGonzalez-rs7le]

Where the ghost 👻

[@nicholasyanis1348]

I work here as a maintenance guy.

[@battlefora3dscollab]

Any red echidnas?

[@MrEricSir]

Those are sea lions, not seals FYI.

[@brandonhethcox5354]

What if you bring your own Bikes or your own Adult Size Trike?

[@bobbobsin3202]

Angel Island will soon be my own private island after I pay 30 billion for it.😂🎉

[@EthanE3]

Dude just called sea lions seals. 😢
