This image was taken from a trail overlooking Trojan Point, a couple of feet away from the parking lot, with a view of Mount Tamalpais.
To get to this perspective, follow Highway 1 north, towards Muir Beach. Upon reaching the intersection, turn right onto Panoramic Highway. Follow the road for about 15 minutes until reaching Pantoll Road. Take a final right at the intersection onto Pantoll Road and the parking lot of Trojan Point should be on the right.
From the parking lot (37.906233, -122.614647), cautiously walk across the road toward a trail entrance marked by a group of wooden fences. Make your way to the trail on the right (far right of the wooden fences), as the higher-up perspective creates more balance within the composition. Lastly, head up about 50 feet to reach this perspective.
