Golden
Gate Bridge
Looking north, from San Francisco to Marin
County. The world's best-loved bridge is recognized everywhere as a symbol of
San Francisco. Built in 1937, the 1.7-mile suspension span was designed to withstand
the forces of nature, including gale force winds and earthquakes. Over 40 million
vehicles a year make the crossing. SFCVB photo by Phil Coblentz.
