From the International Orange towers of the Golden Gate Bridge to the sea lions of Pier 39 — 3 miles along San Francisco's waterfront. Pass a fort the bridge was redesigned to save, a military airfield turned tidal marsh, and Ghirardelli's chocolate factory that still perfumes the air.

   Golden Gate Welcome Center Start here. The bridge was painted "International Orange" — a temporary primer color that everyone loved so much it became permanent.
2. 2
   Golden Gate Bridge Vista Point (South) Joseph Strauss was 5'3". He spent 20 years convincing people this bridge was possible. Most engineers said the strait was unbridgeable.
3. 3
   Battery East / Fort Point Overlook Fort Point survived the Civil War and sits directly under the bridge. The bridge was redesigned to arch over it rather than demolish it.

5. 5
   Palace of Fine Arts Built for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition. The only surviving structure. Bernard Maybeck designed it to look like a Roman ruin from day one.

   Fort Mason 1.5 million soldiers shipped out to the Pacific from these docks during WWII. Now a cultural center.
7. 7
   Ghirardelli Square Domenico Ghirardelli brought chocolate here during the Gold Rush. The factory operated until 1962. Smell the chocolate — they still make it here.
8. 8
   Fisherman's Wharf / Pier 39 End point. The sea lions arrived in 1990 after the Loma Prieta earthquake. Nobody invited them. Nobody can make them leave.
