Marshalls Beach
The best spot to get a good view of the golden gate bridge is Marshalls Beach, it's a bit more challenging to get to than some of the other spots but not too bad I made it in a skirt and flats. It's a nude beach, however there was only two semi nude individuals there when we wandered around and it was about noon & a beautiful day.
Seriously, there was barely anyone around. It was so peaceful to hang out on the beach and take some photos of such an iconic bridge. San Francisco is such a great city, but it's very very busy. Also the driving there is incredibly stressful so being able to take a morning to just relax was very very necessary.

Explore: The Painted Ladies and the park around it was so lovely, especially at sunset. There's a giant dog park too!
Hike Yosemite
One of my favourite parts of our whole trip was our hike in Yosemite! I wish we had been able to do the half dome but you need a permit for that one and I did not get ahead of things enough. Also half dome takes about 9-12 hours so it's best if you're staying right in the park.
We decided to go with the mist trail, checking out vernal and nevada falls. It was a very very beautiful hike and not too strenuous. It's just over 10km and the elevation gain is 668m I believe. So some of it is quite steep, which was fun.
It only took us about 4.5 hours and was lots of fun, but best to get there nice and early. The crowds are intense, and it gets quite hot there in the summertime. We started the hike at 730 am, it was nice and cool and significantly less people on the trail.

Headstand, because why not?
