Everything Else
A great workout. 1.5 miles in each direction, this is one of my favorite 'views' of the city. Not for those that are afraid of heights. This is an awesome place to take a picture or get a good 5k workout in. Closes at dusk. (may need to use the underground tunnel to access the foot of the bridge....a little tricky to find but well worth it)
