More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the shuttle at the base station and the cable car swallows the harbor and city below, lifting you into a different climate where cool mountain air nudges at your sleeves. The Golden Bridge appears like a stage set—broad, photogenic and oddly human, cradled by two enormous stone hands that push you forward to the viewpoint. Downhill valleys, pine ridges and a scatter of French colonial roofs fill the frame; clouds often hover at mid-mountain, daring you to chase sunlight between them.
