A small gun battery on the Marin side with the classic bridge-and-city view, minus most of the crowds at the main vista point. It's a short walk from the car park above Conzelman Road. Fog often rolls through, so mornings after a clear night are your best bet.
Good to know
- Park at the pullout on Conzelman Road and walk the short path
- Bring a jacket, wind and fog come in fast
- Sunset gets busy; arrive early for a spot
- Best time
- Early morning or just before sunset
- Getting there
- Sealed but narrow, twisty road; small car parks
- Vehicles
- Fine in any car
- Dogs
- Dogs on a lead
