Across the span to the Marin overlooks
Start at the Welcome Center flagpole on the San Francisco side. As you approach the south tower, look down at Fort Point. The arch beneath the approach allowed the old fort to stay in place when the bridge went up. At midspan, the narration turns to the suspension cables and the way the deck moves in the wind.
Nine checkpoints cover the walk out to the Marin side and back to the Joseph Strauss statue. The GPS map shows where you are, and you can replay the midspan audio on the return crossing. For another angle on the same structure, choose a bonus stop at Fort Baker Pier below the bridge or Battery Spencer above it.
