How to get there

This image was taken on top of Slacker Hill, looking onto Battery Spencer and the Golden Gate Bridge.
To get to this spot, you'll need to park near the roundabout at the Coastal Trail Parking and Restroom (37.833879, -122.494485). From there, there's a Coastal Trail at the back of the parking lot that'll take you all the way up to Slacker Hill. As you're hiking, reference the GPS coordinates and you'll arrive at the same location where I took my photo.
Note: Make sure to keep right at any point the trail gives you an option.
