The views at Battery Spencer Military Bunker are some of the best in the Bay. You're treated to an up-close-and-personal vantage point of the Golden Gate Bridge with the rest of San Francisco and the Presidio behind it. When there's fog, it creates a fiery look that's full of vibrancy and color.

This photo was taken near the Battery Spencer Military Bunker, with a view of the Golden Gate Bridge. The best way to reach this location is by car. I recommend parking anywhere along Conzelman Road and then after you've parked, walk out to Battery Spencer. From there, you'll have to cross the fence furthest south and hike down to the bottom bunker. The hike from the top of Battery Spencer down is about 10 minutes, but it is steep so be careful and make sure you're wearing sturdy shoes.
