    Cycling

    One of my favorite views of the Golden Gate Bridge, particularly in the evening with red of the bridge glowing in the sun, and the city skyline shimmering through the bridge cables. The trail passes the battery that was part of the 19th- and early 20th-century Fort Baker defenses on the north side of the Golden Gate, the entrance to San Francisco Bay, long before the bridge was built. On the opposite side similar batteries are embedded in the Presidio bluffs above Fort Point.
