If you want to visit, go after sun down. The bridge is only accessible to people riding bikes after 9pm. Bring a bike and ring the bell at the gate for access and enjoy a night ride with out all of the tourists and people crowding the walkway. Dress warm regardless of year it's always windy at the bridge. The racoons are active in numbers at least 7 or 8 climbing into the various trash cans. Do not feed the raccoons you could possibly expose yourself to rabies.if they get too close a loud noise will scare the raccoons away.
