Intro to Golden Gate Bridge
The Golden Gate Bridge is perhaps the most recognizable landmark in San Francisco. It spans 1.2 mi. of the Bay’s entrance, from the northern tip of the San Francisco peninsula to southern Marin County. The visionary was Joseph Strauss, also responsible for many less famous bridges and construction began in 1933 with bonds that put many local residents’ houses up as collateral. The bridge’s famous orange color was selected both to harmonize with the surroundings and for visibility in the area’s equally famous fog. A walk along the Golden Gate, which takes about a half-hour, provides incredible views of the Bay and the Ocean, and the small town of Sausalito on the other side is a charming hamlet of a destination.
