Its a walk you have to do if you have the time in SF. When friends visited we walked less than halfway because they wanted to explore more of the marina area. Its also great to get your walk in after a long drive! Glad you had good weather even if windy because it can get so foggy you can't see across to Marin County.

Steve - What a great item to be in your bucket list and what a beautiful day. One of my items on mine was to walk across the Mackinaw Bridge which connects our two peninsulas of our state (Michigan). It is 5 miles across. Every year on labor day they close a portion of the bridge to cars so people can make the trek. It's true. It can be super windy but what gorgeous views - just incredible. So glad I did it years ago. Did you take any pictures of you two on the bridge with the water in the background? I wish I would have thought of it when I did it but I was 10 and the whole experience was a little overwhelming at that age. Love this video. Sounds like you had a great time. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎤

My hubby and I went on vacation to San Francisco June 2022 and we rented e-bikes and rode across the bridge and around the city. It was fun! Needless to say, a lot of bicyclists tend to be aggressive. I’m definitely not one of those. I’m pretty cautious. I don’t want an accident like I had a couple years ago. I think when we went there, only one side of the path was open, as they were doing work on the other side.

When heading out to walk the bridge, you should have told Mason the famous line, attributed to Mark Twain (don't know if that is true, but that's what I grew up believing)..."The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco". I don't believe I've ever walked the GG Bridge and not been bundled up. The wind coming off that water, cuts right through you!! You had a nice clear day, that was the spirts of the bridge smiling on you. People come from all over the world to walk across the bridge. They used to come to jump, but that isn't nearly as easy as it used to be. Such a sad, sad thing.

They opened the bridge to pedestrians on the 50th anniversary in 1987. I went to that. It was so crowded that I couldn't get across or, for that matter, walk at all.

Hi Spencer, lol. I have driven across the bridge many times over the years, but this time we wanted to walk. And driving across has become extremely expensive. 😳😲

Fort Point is that brick building tucked under the bridge. Unless things have changed walking and bike riding were all on the same side of the bridge. You have to be careful because the bike riders won't slow down, and they won't give you the right of way. They are rude. It's better to walk in the early morning. Everyone walks across during the day. They didn't use to have the chain link fence up. They put it up because there were so many people jumping off the bridge that they had to do something to stop them. It's sad really. Where the fence stops there is netting down below to catch anyone that might jump off. What hotel did you stay at? You are in a way walking on a freeway. Highway1 is the roadway that crosses the bridge and takes people over to Marin County. I'm sorry for the rude bike riders. Something needs to be done about that. I was born and raised in San Francisco and things used to be different. Something happened and people seem to be so much ruder. Looking forward to more SF videos. Take care.
