Walking Across the Golden Gate Bridge - California Bucket List - Episode 2

In the second episode of the California bucket list series we head to San Francisco and walk across the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Walking across it is a great way to see the bridge up close and to have a fun adventure in the city. We also go to Fort Point after the walk and explore that as well.

    Gosh, just last year, I started at the Lands End Trail, like the Presidio, and walked the Golden Gate Bridge and back to Fishermans wharf. It was quite an experience. ❤️🙏🏼

    Maybe this is just my bucket list for CA but: the forest in San Francisco that was used for Endor, a low key winery in Nappa, Joshua Tree, LaJollo, Disneyland, Salton Sea, a weed farm in Humboldt County, Golden Gate Bridge, Hollywood Sign, Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, and The Chinese Theater.

    San Francisco is my favorite tourist city. I have walked the bridge a few times back in the 1990s. Saw the Blue Angels 50th anniversary Fleet of Ships from standing on the middle of the bridge as the ships and aircraft carriers floated underneath. The Presidio was still there at the time and the fog horn was very loud.

    It’s a great walk ! We’ve hired bikes at the Ferry Building and rode all the way down the Embarcadero to the Fort. Then over the bridge to Sausalito. You can catch the Ferry back to SF. What a great day 😊

    I'm 62, grew up and lived in the East Bay for decades, and never have walked the bridge. Good for you and your family for making the walk. Love your content and style. I'll support that the vista point right after the end of the bridge going northbound is a great spot for pics if you're driving. You can't get to the vista point southbound.

    Never knew you could walk across the bridge. I’m sure it’s cold and windy cuz SF gets chilly. Been in CA almost 38 yrs and driven over the bridge many times but never considered walking it. I might do that next time I’m in SF. As far as bucket list, I think I’ve done most things here I’ve wanted to do, see all the highlights for me except….. Joshua tree national park. It’s still on my list and I know you’ve been there many times. I’m hoping to finally go, even if it’s just a day trip or an overnighted cuz I’d love to see the desert in bloom and visit anza borrego as well. But everyone should see Yosemite in their lifetime. As well as the redwoods and sequoia trees. As far as urban adventures, I’d love to do a walking tour of old town LA, the Bradbury bldg and union station and all that. Anyone visiting LA for the first time should take in our iconic museums, Getty, Huntington library, Norton Simon, tar pits, natural history and science museums, Griffith park observatory, to mention a few

    @@JP-dz7zu You know what...Yeah SF has its problems, as most big cities do. But I can assure you that there isn't any feces, or hypodermic needles on the GGB. SF is made up of 11 districts, with the Tenderloin being were the homeless mostly are, & homeless issues. But its folks like you that love to exaggerate the situation in San Francisco 24/7.🤔
