Lorie,

We made arrangements several weeks in advance with the docents who work at Golden Gate National Recreation Area to escort us down to the light to photograph at sunset. That is the only way that you can get there to get the shots that we took. The door is still there and still locked unless you make special arrangements well in advance. I'd strongly recommend doing so if you want to get sunset shots of Point Bonita from the angles I've shown in the pics here. Alternatively, given a long lens (300 mm or longer, preferably), you can photograph the light from up on top by the radar station, but it isn't quite the same view. I did that one evening while I was there and will post some shots from that angle later, maybe tonight.

Hope this helps.
Gary
