As Northern Californians, many of us take for granted the tourist attractions that bring millions to the Bay Area annually. Here are photos I snapped on a tour through Alcatraz.

When planning your trip, make sure to book at least a week prior to your anticipated tour. Tickets sell out several days in advance. Visit http://www.alcatrazcruises.com/ to book and find more information.
