Grizzly Peak view of San Francisco Skyline & Bay Bridges

In my opinion, Grizzly Peak offers the best view of San Francisco. Treasure Island and the Bay Bridges, accompanied by the skyline emerging through the thick fog at sunset is truly a mystifying scene!

This image of the San Francisco Skyline and Bay Bridges 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. I prefer to set up my camera around the tree to be less visible from the road.
