Hawk Hill offers beautiful views of San Francisco framed by the Golden Gate Bridge. There's more of the Bay Area visible in the distance, like Alcatraz, Berkeley or Bay Bridge.

Photo tips: Any time of day works well here, particularly sunsets and sunrises can offer great conditions.

The typical view of San Francisco requires lens in the 30-40 mm range, but there's also opportunity to use telephoto to focus on details.

Getting there: There are roughly 50 parking spaces, but they can fill quickly particularly on sunsets, so come in advance in order to have enough time.
