Crissy Field
a very nice walk to see a perfect view of Golden Bridge.
Great historical place you can walk, bike, or drive on however the bike and walking lanes are together and some cyclists are riding fast and can easily become a safety hazard. Besides that you get a beautifully breathtaking view when on the bridge that is second to none. Definitely a must do if you are in the area with at least an hour to kill. Also I recommend a jacket or a warm sweater or is usually windy with all the cars driving by.
