Hidden gem. Great place to visit and pay respects to those having made the ultimate sacrifice. Second only to Arlington in size. Somber location but well worth the time to visit.

From the Nauman Rd trailhead, the walk to the National Cemetery (and Golden Gate Bridge) overlook passes through memorial stones containing haunting quotations on life given for war. Pause for thought

We paid our respects to the many people - American heroes who serve in the military - at one of the largest national cemeterys in the country.

Read every informational display and marker. Visit some of the most famous graves and memorials. This is a very famous place, in one of the most beautiful nature settings you will ever see. Take your time, this place and the people who came to rest here deserve that.

This is a large and tranquil facility where many deceased servicemen and women and spouses are buried. There are a few monuments but almost all tombstones are similar white stone with names, ranks, branch of service and wars they served in engraved. You enter through gates near the Presidio Main Post west and slightly uphill from the Visitor Center. The cemetery then spreads west and uphill. There are a few parking areas within and just outside the a few by the entrance. It is fitting that the grounds are well maintained and offer sweeping views. There are restrooms just slightly up from the entrance and to the right of the buildings.
