    San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge in California

    Though the Golden Gate Bridge has become an icon of the San Francisco skyline, the Bay Bridge—officially the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge—is just as much a part of the City by the Bay's daily churn. Nearly 250,000 commuters cross this multi-span bridge system each day, making their way between Frisco and the East Bay. And if you travel to Grizzly Peak in the Berkeley Hills above the UC Berkeley campus, you’ll enjoy the view shown in our image today: San Francisco, pulsing with nightlife, and the Bay Bridge, a glowing artery pumping passengers into and out of the city.
