Hiking The Bay Area

The Bay Area has a ton of wonderful hikes. I took one over July 4th weekend up in the city. We started at Baker's Beach area and hiked through all the coastal batteries to the golden gate bridge. We were still feeling good, so we decided to walk the golden gate and back. We then kept going down to Fort Point which I never even knew existed. We then circled back the way we came. The trip over was completely foggy. In fact we got right to the golden gate bridge before we actually saw it. The fog burned off about 1:30pm (about the time we started to head back). So the hike back had a totally different vibe to it. Bright and sunny, and you could see the golden gate for miles. Got some great pictures as well...

This first picture at the top shows bakers beach and the seacliff area in the fog when we started our hike. The picture below is a picture of the same area taken when we got back. Not sure how
many miles total the hike ended up being. We took our time because we had 2 young hikers with us that had to stop and run through all the old military posts that we passed along the way. Overall it's a fairly easy hike and one that kids really enjoy.
