Walk Along San Diego Bay

This is not a hike of only FT. Rosecrans, but of a longer walk along the San Diego Bay that included walking thru Ft. Rosecrans. This walk is one that I've been wanting to do for awhile. It started just outside the entrance booth to Cabrillo National Monument and ended in Little Italy, near downtown. It is mostly flat, except for going down hill from Point Loma. It is an urban walk, but a nice one because it affords beautiful views of the San Diego Bay.

Visiting my mom and dad, both of who were laid to rest here. This is one of the most beuatiful cemeteries in my opinion. Primo real estate with breath taking view of the Pacific Ocean (on the west side) and San Diego Bay (on the east side). Very nice and sobering walking around this massive cemetery to see the graves of many veterans here.
