Walking the Golden Gate Bridge | San Francisco, CA

The Golden Gate Bridge, an iconic symbol of San Francisco, California, is a remarkable suspension bridge that spans the Golden Gate Strait, serving as the gateway to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean. Constructed between 1933 and 1937, this engineering marvel was designed by Joseph B. Strauss, an engineer, and Irving Morrow, an architect. The bridge's Art Deco design features a distinctive bright orange-red color called "International Orange," chosen for its visibility in foggy conditions.
Stretching for approximately 1.7 miles (2.7 kilometers), the Golden Gate Bridge is a testament to human ingenuity. Its main span covers an impressive 4,200 feet (1,280 meters), contributing to its status as one of the longest suspension bridges in the world.

This was awesome. Thank you for sharing. It helped ease my nerves wondering what/how to do in San Fran

[@HengMiao]

You picked such a nice day to walk about the Golden Gate Bridge, and the views are spectacular! 😍🌉 I didn't get a chance to walk across it as a kid, but I will do so when I visit SF again one day! Thank you so much for sharing this epic walk across the iconic bridge, AK! 🤗

[@ActionKid]

Much appreciated, I loved my walk across the Golden Gate Bridge and I would do it again

[@claytongillett3179]

@@ActionKid I would definetly walk the golden gate again. Standing on it was such a pleasure and bought so much joy

[@jeanlou79]

What is interesting about the Golden Gate Bridge is that it was designed to be utilitarian, but it also ended up being an architectural piece of art!

[@ActionKid]

Absolutely

[@dream.machine]

That was a beautiful walk on a beautiful day on one of the world's most beautiful bridges 🌁 Awesome video!

[@ActionKid]

Thank you! It was a gorgeous day.

[@6821hominy]

I'm 66 now. I would visit my grandparents every summer in the SF bay area starting in 1968 when they moved from our state of Ohio. It was the highlight of my youth and to this day I think of all the places in SF and all over California we visited. I have read several books about the Golden Gate Bridge and always had a love and fascination for it. I have walked it many times and I recall if I am correct that back in the early 1970's there was no fencing and razor wire. Most likely it was rare for someone to jump off to commit suicide. So eventually the fence went up. On another note -around 1978 my cousin who lives in Richmond drove us up to the hills in Berkeley not long before sunset. We watched as the fog rolled in and gradually enveloped the bridge - at the end we could only see the top of the 2 towers as the rest of the bridge was covered in fog. We did not have a video camera back then but if we did it would surely have made for a wonderful video. It was an amazing sight that I have always remembered. People who have never been to SF are missing experiencing a beautiful city. It's not the same as it was when I would visit as a child and then a teenager. I miss the old SF, the Cliff House and the how clean and normal it was back then.

[@johnballs4107]

thanks for this awesome comment. have a good day.

[@zerocapacitance1]

We love you here action kid. Welcome to California.!!!

The cables that are holding up this bridge were made by the same company that built the Brooklyn Bridge - John A Roebling's Sons Co.

[@baseer_vlogs]

So beautiful

[@Soup_Explorer]

Nice day to walk the Golden Gate Bridge! 14:12 look at the nice views on the bridge! The Golden Gate Bridge first constructed was in the 1930’s and was the tallest bridge in the world,its main Connection is between San Francisco and Santa Rosa,if You look down you can see the North Pacific ocean linking to Hawaii and Asia, 43:00 woah! A Nice view for sure 🤩, its impressive that this bridge is more scenic then Manhattan Bridge and Brooklyn Bridge 🌉!

[@jasonpage8600]

its also san frans number 1 suicide hotspot.

[@ActionKid]

Glad you enjoyed the walk over the bridge

[@xoxo20000]

Man im so jealous lol. Its nice and sunny. When I went to SF last year it was gloomy and cold in June...in Summer lol

[@texaswunderkind]

It was sunny when we walked across, but on the return trip the fog rolled in and it got cold. The bridge actually has a foghorn for shipping traffic, so that was interesting to hear.

[@sherylsmith8018]

AK, awesome job in catching the essence of the bridge.

[@angelj9610]

Very nice walk across the bridge. Awesome views!

[@ActionKid]

I really enjoyed my walk across the bridge

[@chrissievee76]

[@Happyman.1958]

I just want to say that I truly enjoyed the one take video I thought it was beautiful no interruptions just one continuous flow of visual Delight I want to thank you very much and say it was a job well done thank you again

[@MrDEWaters]

You picked the perfect day to do this. I walked out to the center of the bridge and returned to where I started--that was in 2007, the last time I was in SF. It was the middle of summer but the temp was only 58 degrees F.

[@ActionKid]

Happy you got an opportunity to walk the bridge

[@claytongillett3179]

This video brings back so many memories. Ever since I was a little kid I always dreamed of going to San Francisco and dreamed of seeing the golden gate. I made that dream come true last year. On our first day there we stopped off at the iconic Mrs. Doubtfire house. From there, we walked down to Marina. I was saving the best part. As soon as we turned the corner into the Marina district, I saw the bridge and started crying. Pure tears of joy. Watching this video bought back them memories and I started crying again because it finally hit me that I lived my dream and I am so happy. Thank you for uploading this!!!!

[@lizpaterson4190]

Hi AK loved watching your walk across the golden gate bridge beautiful scenery and blue skies. I waked it with my sis back in Sept 2017 and love the experience would like to go back to san 32:11 Francisco 1 day. Thank you for letting me relive that wonderful memmory❤❤

The view point is amazing!

A terrific video on a bridge I would like one day to visit and still very much one of the World's greatest, even after so many years.

Beautiful video. I hope to one day visit the west and walk across this beautuful bridge. Great day it was too. Vety nice views Very nice video❤️

[@graham974]

This is on my bucket list. But then again, everything AK does is bucket list material!

[@ActionKid]

Awesome!

[@raimunddippon3120]

I guess once in your life you should walk the bridge. I did it, too, mostly because my then twelve years old son insisted. Surely he will remember it all his life. But be advised that even on the nicest day, as seen in the video, it is very noisy because you literally walk right next to a six-lane highway, while at the same time there is a chilling wind going on at all times. All of the people in the video prove it, so be prepared. Yes, the views are spectacular, especially when a ship passes below you. You can't really plan for it either because, as the narrator says, the fog situation is unpredictable. I definitely recommend it, with the right expectations, preparations, and, of course, luck. That said, I have been crossing the bridge regularly by car and even after thirty years doing so, it is still something special to experience.

[@hadlee189]

As a San Franciso native welcome to my hometown...But I gotta correct you on somethings, it not Foggy most of the time. And the place to see the Sea Loins is Pier 39.😉

I bet walking across was windy.... I drove across to salsalito....not sure I could walk it..but an experience... Hope you took the ferry to sunset tour.. love SFO weather...breath taking 😊

[@davidkuebler4302]

The reason why they put the fence up on the San Francisco bridge for is that they don't want people committing suicide at anytime that's why and nice video by the way

[@synaptik111]

[@sydneyadams4758]

One day perhaps you will come and walk our bridge here in Michigan: By total length the Mackinac Bridge, at 5 miles long, remains one of the longest bridges of its kind. By comparison, the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge in Japan, which is currently considered the longest suspension bridge in the world with a main span length of 6,532 ft, is less than 2.5 miles long in total length. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous walk.

[@susanboatman7913]

I agree the Mackinac Bridge is amazing with connecting both Peninsulas in Michigan. Now that the summer season is almost here it probably start getting busy.

[@susanboatman7913]

By the way, I believe you can only drive across the Mackinac bridge. The authorities allow the bridge to be walked only day and you have to reach midpoint by 10 am so that they can open the bridge up to traffic by noon.

[@IDontSuckAtLifeakaJanis3975]

Yeah, that's a scary arse bridge Rofl.... Traumatizing memories of my childhood hahaha . Riding in a car across it was bad enough, I couldn't imagine walking across it. I've felt safe vicariously walking across the NY bridges vids ActionKid and then a couple of others .. Don't know if I'll even make it through this video. (I have to click off of street view on Google maps when they get too close you bodies of water/bridges)

[@ActionKid]

You’re welcome! I’ll have to check it out.

Nice video. Did you know that Lisbon (Portugal) has a bridge similar to The Golden Gate and it is called The 25th April Bridge.

[@SYDAirlineEnthusiast]

It’s interesting. It’s color matches the Golden Gate Bridge, but it’s pillars have the same design as the bay bridge.

[@nellj9495]

The bridge is Lisbon is actually more similar to the Bay bridge than the Golden Gate.

[@RecordingHistory1]

My guy!

[@dianesantee4237]

Next time I hope you can walk this bridge at night when the lights are on 💖💖

[@SYDAirlineEnthusiast]

New York City has three suspension bridges you can walk across: Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, and Williamsburg Bridge. Nice walk to be honest on all three. Hopefully I can move back there.

[@zarkydunnun7378]

Hey, if you happen to recall, do you remember approximately what time of day you filmed this? Like, 12 pm, 1 pm? I'm planning on possibly going this may and would like to know when the weather looks this beautiful. I'd appreciate it, thanks.

You mean Pier 39… and I used to walk to Bridge a lot

[@texaswunderkind]

40:00 - I got to about this point and had to pee so bad it hurt. I said to my wife "if there isn't a public restroom on this other side, I'm peeing off the side of the bridge in full view of all the traffic." Fortunately, there was one in the visitor's center, though it was in pretty rough shape.

Very true. But to accomplish all that they have to get rid of all the democratic liberals. Sadly our lovely Seattle has fallen in the hands of those liberals. And with it it's fallen to all the same issues.

[@SYDAirlineEnthusiast]

Back? Who lives there right now?

[@texaswunderkind]

@@johnm7882 You mean the liberals who have made Seattle and San Francisco the engines of our entire economy? You mean those cities? I've seen Republican leadership in flyover states, and we don't need more trailer parks and meth heads threatening people with guns.

[@barrywood2806]

Thanks for the walk. I once drove across and wanted to park at the Vista Point but there was no space. In your video it still looked difficult to do so. One thing I would take issue with - you several times refer to it as the world's most famous bridge. It is ONE of. London's Tower Bridge and the Sydney Harbour Bridge might not be as spectacular, but they could also both stake a claim.

[@llexhwin6606]

[@jot9979]

Wreally terrible traffic 😬

[@texaswunderkind]

Unfortunately, the vehicular traffic is extremely loud when you are walking the bridge. But it really is the only way of getting to the north bay with a car. There is ferry service, but not for cars. I think the geography of the area prevents them from building tunnels or alleviating traffic some other way.

[@salvaje20]

They should play "Jump!" by Van Halen throughout the walk

[@davejoy2672]

London Bridge or tower bridge are both more famous than the Golden Gate Bridge around the world,on that bold claim you are talking nonsense🤷🏻‍♂️been across the golden gate bridge in SFS and it’s not as good as I thought it was going to be,nowhere near the class and history of both London’s famous bridges fact although SFS itself is a nice city especially on the outskirts in Hercules which I found a really nice place.
