This image of the Transamerica Pyramid, skyline and Golden Gate Bridge was taken from Conzelman Rd. The easiest way to reach this spot is by driving.
Park near the Coastal Trail Parking and Restroom (37.833944, -122.494566) and then reference the GPS coordinates to get to the same spot where I stood to get this perspective.
Note: Often times the gate is closed at the roundabout on Conzelman road leading up to this portion of the hill prior to sunrise. Wait until sunrise and it will open.
