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

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

    Its big, its red, and really pretty. If you’re in a car, cross the bridge and head up the Marin Headlands to take your postcard photos.

    Try to walk across before 9am and the crowds. Look down at the water, you could see sea lions and dolphins.

    The famous International Orange color was originally used as a sealant for the bridge. Many locals persuaded Morrow to paint the bridge in the vibrant orange color instead of standard silver or gray.

    What can one say. Do the walk across! Maybe touristy, but so what. Do it

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

    It's famous, and with good reason. Crossing the Golden Gate is guaranteed to put a smile on your face, no matter what you're driving.

    PEDESTRIANS: Your side of the walkway is NOT open on the Marin side. Don't plan to get anywhere, just enjoy the views!

    Bike across the bridge and down to Tiburon. Then catch the ferry back to the city. Pack lunch, snacks and water.

    Manhole covers across the bridge can be a slip hazard when wet. Be careful.

    Walk across, but you'll need to walk back! We tried to take the city bus, but it wasn't running.

    If you're planning to ride Line 76 on the way back, you better check the schedule before. It runs only on Saturdays and Sundays.
