風和日麗金門大橋半日遊
The best San Francisco Golden Gate bridge hiking route
When I visited Bay area in October, my friends took me on a nice ~ 3 hour hike of Golden Gate bridge area. I thought you might want to try it when you visit San Francisco.

1. Park your car at Baker beach (free parking)...
2. Walk along Baker beach, then climb up sand ladder (This is the only hard part. After this climb, it is all nice and easy)
3. Walk down to Marshall Beach, visit all of the Batteries from ~1900.
4. The path will take you to Golden Gate visitor center area.
5. Take the downhill path to west bluff picnic area. Side trip: Visit Fort Pont under bridge if you like.
6. Walk along Crissy Field, and cross the road to Palace of Fine Arts
7. Cross 101 to visit Presidio. Take a coffee break at the Starbuck, and pay tribute to Yoda
8. End the hike at Presidio Transit center. Take the free Presidio mini bus to Presidio Hill.
9. The bus will take you thru the forest of Presidio Hill.
10. Exit the bus at Baker Beach stop. If you worry, tell the driver your stop.

- It is a nice ~3 hour easy hike. The only hard part is the sand ladder at beginning of the hike. The other climb is not as steep, mostly downhill or flat, or a walk on the beach.
- Weather is important for this hike, though. Be sure to pick a sunny day with less wind. On the day of our hike, the fog clear on 10 am, and wind is below 5 miles per hour but pick up in the afternoon. Fortunately, we are then walking on Crissy Field. The wind from your back is not as bad.
- Combine this hike with easy brunch ideas/lunch/dinner at China town, or on Clement Street.

Enjoy!
