Vista Point view of Golden Gate Bridge

avatar
@michaellaxphoto
Just eight minutes across the bay from San Francisco, this vista point is enjoyed by both tourists and natives alike. With its colossal red towers, the popular spot is well-known for its unqiue and symmetrical view of the Golden Gate bridge.

Vista Point will be the first exit clearly marked "Vista Point" after you've crossed the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. Once pulled into the parking lot you'll see a stone wall perimeter leading to expansive views of the bay - on the far right side of the wall is where I took the featured image.
