Engagement Hill

avatar
@codymayer22
Engagement Hill at night is truly something. The panoramic views of the city lights create a striking contrast with the dark sky by night. If you're more into architecture photography, you'll also find many viewpoints facing Golden Gate Bridge, downtown San Francisco, and SF bay. Photographers chasing more uncommon photos like me will also get to shoot fun light trails amidst the rising hills.

This photo was taken from Engagement Hill, which can be reached via the SCA Trail. To get here, park at the Coastal Trail Parking (37.8338626,-122.4944786) right before the roundabout at Conzelman Road. Take the Coastal Trail north, which turns into the SCA Trail, and from here, navigate to the GPS coordinates for this from Engagement Hill. I faced south toward the freeways.
