    The bridge is International Orange, not red. Annoy your kids by insisting on it being the correct colour name.

    Throw on a jacket and bike across the bridge, stopping in Sausalito for some beer and ice cream before ferrying back to the city. A perfect date for the outdoor enthusiast. #vday

    Stay at the Inn at the Presidio... it's a short walk from the bridge, and a historic hotel just about to open in early 2012! Read more

    Painting this bridge is a continuous project. Once they finish, they have to start back at the beginning again, because it takes THAT LONG!

    Beautiful walk. Highly recommend. You cannot go to SF, and not visit the bridge!!

    Driving on the bridge is nothing spectacular. Find a place to get a good view near the beaches and take a picture instead.

    If you've never walked or biked across the Golden Gate Bridge, put it on your to-do list! What an amazing experience.

    Is the Golden Gate Bridge structurally sound enough to withstand an earthquake? Can anyone survive jumping OFF the longest suspension bridge in the world?

    It's pretty windy and chilly over the Bay. Wear appropriate clothing, and watch out for bikers.

    It can get very windy and cold on the bridge. If you decide to walk on it, be sure to bring a jacket or a coat.

    Backpacking? Set out every piece of gear you own - then pack half of it. Walking across the Golden Gate Bridge in June? Pack it all.

    Bring a jacket! It's chilly & windy most of the year, including summer. Not all of California is sunshine and rainbows all the time ;)

    Lots of people running on bridge, watch out for small objects that may fall off the bridge and be lost forever
