## Quick answer

Arrive early and park at the Battery Spencer parking lot, as foggy days tend to attract more photographers.

## Detailed answer

On foggy days, the Golden Gate Bridge and surrounding areas can be particularly scenic. To secure a good parking spot, arrive early, ideally before 9 am. Be aware that the parking lot can fill up quickly, and alternative parking options may be limited. Consider using public transit or ride-sharing services if the parking lot is full.
