Hawk Hill

This is one of the best hidden gems in the entire bay area . Amazing lookout at the top of the entire city skyline and the golden gate bridge . Still one of my favorite scenic places in the SF area

Biking up here before the #sunrise is a definite treat. Some days you can watch the #fog roll onto San Francisco . It's #beautiful

Visit Hawk Hill on a clear day in the early afternoon and bring along a picnic lunch (park your car facing the view and enjoy), a windbreaker, and binoculars .

I can confirm it is indeed a hill and there are in fact, hawks. Best experienced by bike .

One of the best views of the golden gate. To get here take the immediate next exit after the golden gate vista point exit and make a left.

Absolute paradise! No better view in the Bay Area then cycling through the headlands especially the hawk hill loop.

For a bike ride , it looks a LOT worse than it is, though still not for the casual cyclist . Beautiful view of San Francisco from the top.

Great view of San Francisco and the bay . Go early on a weekday to miss all the tourists and traffic. And, watch out for cyclists !

The best viewpoint of the city/bay that a lot of visitors don't know about. Go all the way to the top of the hill .

Incredible 360 degree view from the top of SF, Sausalito, and the ocean

Bring your musical instrument and try some listening experiments! Or, grab sticks & rocks, and bang inside and outside the tunnel . What sounds do you notice? See more experiments at Hawk Hill Tunnel : Read more

Come before 11 to get glare free pictures of the bridge !

To get the bridge with the city of San Francisco in the background, pull over about half way up Conzelman Road . There's one spot where the Trans America Pyramid lines up with the North Tower.

The rock to the right as you go up the hill is called chert. Each centimeter contains 10,000 years of sedimentation.

You're standing on ancient oceanic rock…that used to reside at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean!

Nothing better than riding your bike to the top and looking down at the beautiful city you live in.

Amazing views of the Golden Gate Bridge ! The views at the back of the hill is just as amazing!

If mother nature will be kind to you and the fog will dissolve this is the best view point on the golden gate and bay area by far!!!

Ride your brakes on the way down if you fear death like me.

the short tunnel after the long tunnel has a dark & mysterious room perfect for making music … complete with graffiti mandalas and faces from the deep
