✋🐾 Hoppers Hands – A Meaningful Golden Gate Tradition
Simba 🐾 and I visited Hoppers Hands at the base of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California — a heartfelt local landmark with a powerful mission. What looks like a simple metal plaque has become a beloved turnaround point for runners, walkers, and cyclists along the waterfront trail. But the story goes even deeper.
Installed by Kevin “Hopper” Hand, a longtime member of the Ironworkers Union, this plaque honors those who patrol the bridge and work tirelessly to save lives and prevent suicides. Touching the hands before turning back has grown into a ritual symbolizing support, hope, and resilience — especially for first responders.
