Hike from Golden Gate Bridge to Kirby Cove

Who said that we can hike across the Golden Gate Bridge only for the Santa hike? ...It's Christmas in July!! We will hike across one of the world's most beautiful architectural achievements, the Golden Gate Bridge!! We'll gather by the Golden Gate Welcome Center, located on the southside of the bridge, and we will hike to Kirby Cove and back for a total of 6.6 miles. The hike to Kirby Cove is a moderate decline on a wide fire road about 1 mile in length which means there will be a moderate/strenuous 1 mile hike out. We will enjoy a picnic lunch at Kirby Cove and then hike back to the southside of the Golden Gate. This hike will give us world class views of the Bridge from two directions as well as amazing views of San Francisco. The hike to Kirby cove takes us through some beautiful eucalyptus forest and Kirby cove itself is a lovely isolated little beach with some pretty spectacular views of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. There's a swing on the edge of the beach with a gorgeous view of the Golden Gate Bridge. There are also bathrooms at the campgrounds close to the beach.
