This image of the Oakland Bay Bridge and San Francisco Bay was taken from Grizzly Peak. To get there, you'll need access to a car.
First, drive up Grizzly Peak Blvd behind the UC Berkeley campus into the hills. The road is winding, but well-paved and very manageable.
Park in the large dirt turnout at the GPS coordinates and then face southwest toward the city and bridges.
