Golden Gate Bridge Photo Stop
Description
Experience the essence of Northern California with this full-day guided adventure. Depart San Francisco and cross the iconic Golden Gate Bridge into Marin County, where the forested beauty of Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve awaits. Walk beneath the canopy of ancient sequoias, some over 1,400 years old, and capture photos of these living giants. Then continue west to the Pacific coast for lunch in Guerneville or a beachside picnic. The legendary Highway 1 offers scenic pull-offs and sweeping ocean views before you reach Bodega Bay, famous as the filming location for Hitchcock’s *The Birds*. Stop in the quaint town of Bodega for local history and shops, then journey south to Sausalito. Here, enjoy free time to explore boutiques, art galleries, and the marina’s Mediterranean charm. As the sun sets, return through the Marin Headlands with breathtaking views of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco skyline — the perfect finale to a day of redwoods, coastlines, and culture.
