It doesn’t matter if you’ve never been to San Francisco, everyone knows what the Golden Gate Bridge looks like. Admittedly, I was pretty darn excited to see this bridge for the first time.

We caught a glimpse as we drove up Lincoln Blvd on the western side of the Presidio, but the money shot is from the parking area on the south side of the bridge.

The sky was as clear as it was for our entire trip on Sunday afternoon, so the view was magnificent. We crossed over the bridge and got another shot looking back toward downtown San Francisco.

We have been going non-stop for two days and are completely exhausted. We haven’t even reviewed all our photos!

So, in the meantime, here’s a shot to prove where we are…

It was the first time I’ve seen it and the Golden Gate Bridge is absolutely as spectacular in person as it is in photos.
