San Francisco's Great Outdoors

What is it about iconic bridges that is so fun?  I mean it's just a bridge - and yet...the Golden Gate Bridge is so beautiful and so San Francisco, like the Brooklyn Bridge it's a destination all its own.

And then just a few miles past the bridge is Muir Woods.  This beautiful nature preserve is full of massive, old trees.  It was a bit muddy when we went so I suggest some decent footwear, but this out of the way sight is a great place to take photographs and get away from the busy city for a while.
