Beautiful picture spots. There also is a two way tunnel that you have to pass thru but only one way can go at a time, so the red light can take up to 5-7 minutes before you can pass thru. Very busy area on the weekends and there are signs posted everywhere to take your valuables. Seems like a high theft area. Parking also very hard to come by (went on a weekend)

This Vista point is a great location to capture some outstanding pictures.

Best time to visit is around noon when the clouds are a little scarce and the entire bridge is visible.

A bit windy on the top so I advise carrying a jacket with you. 8 parking spaces available but it is not entirely full since people come and go very frequently.

Great place for a quick photo-op

You have to cross the Golden Gate Bridge 🌉 itself to Hawk Hill to access to this viewpoint.

Came here once during daytime, but believe that this viewpoint offers better scene and ambience during night time.

It's so quiet and silent that you can meditate against it.

Beautiful viewpoint compared to the battery spencer vista point. Decent number of parking spots. Cannot see both the towers from this spot but still a decent place to hang out.

It is a one way drive. You start off from the top of the vista point and drive down. Along the way, you can stop by various parking spots to get out of your car and enjoy a breathtaking view of Golden Gate Bridge. We went on a foggy morning and we’re able to get a view of the bridge amidst the fog.

Golden Gate Bridge is beautiful and charming from any direction in San Francisco or even from the air. And, I think this one from the northwest side is perhaps one of the best location to view the entire Golden Gate Bridge in full aspect! A bit of windy and a bit of walks but worths all the efforts!

This is the best area to view the bridge in my opinion. You go through a tunnel to get here and drive up the mountain. There are a few different areas to stop to get different angles. Real pretty area. Parking didn't seem to be an issue as you can park on the side of the road in some spots.

What a fantastically magical place. Came here with my wife on our recent trip around California. We went an hour before sunset and saw the bridge and whole city lit in golden sunshine. A memory we will have forever.
Loads of great spots to pull over and gaze over the amazing scenery.
