first glimpse golden gate bridge

July 19, 2019

I guess no visit to Northern California would be complete without a visit to the Golden Gate Bridge.  I was interested in seeing it while in San Francisco, but really had no expectations.

The walk up to the bridge, and walking on the bridge itself, ended up one of my favorite visits on my most recent trip to California. There are so many awesome overlooks along the walk up to the bridge, it is a major sensory overload!  And, the walk across the 1.7-mile expanse provides beautiful (though breezy) ocean views!

It is amazing to think that when opened in 1937 – over 75 years ago – the Golden Gate Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world!

It is easy to see why the Golden Gate Bridge is in the top ten of most visited landmarks in the United States.

I hope you enjoyed sharing some of my very first views of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a fabulous weekend!
