The Golden Gate Bridge is certainly a national icon. What a treat to see it up close, and in person!! The welcome center is a good drop off and pick-up place. There is some parking here, but it is very limited, so taking an Uber/Lyft/Taxi might be the best option. But, the welcome center is well done and informative (separate review for that). But the bridge.......Deifnitely taking the path from the welcome center down furthe is a must-do. This provides access to different unobstructed vantage points of the bridge. The path also leads to other areas of the park, such as a fort area....and under the bridge, to take a look at the massive pilings/tower supports, and a view from the other side! For those that are adventurous, there is also a means to access the sidewalk to walk over most of the bridge...but, not being a fan of heights, I declined...although two colleagues did take the walk and thoroughly enjoyed it.There are many phoeo opportunites here, viewing opportunites, and ample space ot relax and take in the gorgeous views. Definitely don't miss this icon!
