and the ferry back cost about 8 dollars each and you get the most amazing views of the bay. Sausalito is a lovely place loads of eating places shops and coffee houses bars etc. There are two routes from the bridge to Sausalito We took the road but you can get below the bridge and take the trail. Take a warm layer (even on a warm day as the middle of the bridge can get windy (almost always is) and cold. For being so small it packs a serious punch and is absolutely gorgeous. its about an 8-10 mile walk its not possible to get lost, there is a place to get a coffee just before you go up the hill to get to the bridge. The exhibits they offer are not only fascinating, but super informative. The Hills Have Eyes 2 was an R-rated horror flick that went way too far. Tip if your really into walking, try the walk from Fisherman's wharf to the golden gate bridge then over the bridge to a lovely little town called Sausalito, then get the ferry back to pier 41 at Fisherman's wharf. Every time I was in the city after that I thought of standing on the hill pictured the city and I always worked out where I needed to go. I actually got my bearings of the city from there. I would definitely drive, its way out of the town.
