Tank Hill

"Hard to beat in terms of panoramic view of the city that isn't overly crowded like some other SF city hills. Only downside is that the wooden stairs leading up from Twin Peaks Blvd. are a bit rickety and some steps are rotting to the point where you need to be very careful, especially on the way down. Stairs on the north side leading to Belgrave Ave. are in much better shape. On a sunny day the view is pretty amazing, especially of the Golden Gate bridge, Marin headlands, downtown SF skyline, and the SF Bay and Port of Oakland."

"One of the great spots in San Francisco for panoramic views of the city. This one isn’t as popular other spots but the views are fantastic."

"This is a hidden gem. Almost to the point that I don't want to say too much about it. We ventured up the hill to catch a sunset, and although the fog didn't reveal the sun, it was still a magical experience. There is a large green bench on top. It was perfect."

"Spectacular view of ocean, Golden Gate Bridge, and downtown. It’s about 40 minutes walking from Golden Gate Park (8th Ave entrance from Fulton street. It has less tourists and much quieter than twin peaks. But offers almost same views. Of course, you can go to twin peaks from here. Just take about another 20 minutes."

"Nice short hike in the middle of San Francisco with a stunning view of the city at the top. It was not crowded but very windy so bring layers! The access is fairly straight forward, you can’t miss it. There is a bench but facing East, probably better for sunrise."
