Spectacular panoramic view of the Golden Gate Bridge, the skyline of San Francisco and the entire San
Francisco Bay as viewed from one of the four Vista Points on Conzelman Road in Marin Headlands
which are mountains just north of the Golden Gate Bridge. This is where you can find the most
impressive spot to view the Golden Gate Bridge. It's so high up that you literally can see for miles. And
to look down, there are turquoise coves and even a Black Sand Beach. There are so much more to see
than just the bridge. It's so beautiful it takes your breath away! This is one place I will want to come
back to!

Peak Blvd & Claremont Ave. & Fish Ranch Rd, Oakland 94705 or (2) junction of Grizzly Peak Blvd &
Centennial Drive, Berkeley 94720. There are several roadside pull-out scenic overlooks between these two
junctions to enjoy the spectacular views.
