Hiking.. from Lands End to Baker Beach

We live in Berkeley which is on the East side of the San Francisco Bay.
If we want to go to San Francisco, we have to cross the Bay Bridge.
This is the toll plaza. We have to pay to cross it. It costs $5 on the weekends and either $4 or $6 on weekdays.
If you cross during rush hours on the weekdays, it costs $6. 
This is the part when you get to see San Francisco from the Bay Bridge.


Nice mural from the freeway.


We started hiking from the visitor center close to Cliff House.


Then we saw a part of this ship that is now used as a monument.


This is the part of the ship. I think it got shot so it now has a few big holes in it.

We walked a bit more and we saw this view!


During the hike.



After walking for 1.5 hours, we arrived at Baker Beach.

Some people went into the ocean and got crabs.
But these two crabs were too little, so they threw them back into the ocean.

We walked around and found a picnic table to have our lunch.


We walked from the Cliff House and we walked back to the Cliff House.
More pictures from the trail.



Then we drove to the Golden Gate Bridge.



I felt so excited!! We were about to walk onto the Bridge!!





View of San Francisco from the Bridge.

I took a selfie with my mom. 

There was a little hole on the bridge. When we looked down, we could see the water!!
It was cool!

Some signs on the bridge. I learned that we shouldn't throw anything from the Bridge.  

On the way back to our car, we saw many writings on the steps.
They said 'Welcome' in different languages.


The Turkish and Thai 'welcome' were right next to each other!!


This shows inside of the cable used on the Bridge.
If you look carefully, you will see many tiny cables inside the big orange cable!


Tiny cables in the big cable.

It was so much fun hiking to the beach and walking on the Bridge.
If you come to San Francisco, you should definitely do it!
