Slackers Hill view of Golden Gate Bridge

This photograph was taken on Slackers Hill. Follow Conzelman Road until you reach the roundabout, where you'll see a 12 spot small parking lot. Park there, head north on McCullough Drive and enter the trail on the right where there's a gate. The trail itself is short but has asteep incline to the top. Take a right at the fork and make your way to the top of the hill. From there, you’ll have 360 degree views, including the San Francisco skyline and the Golden Gate Bridge.

It’s beautiful to photograph from Slacker’s Hill any time of year.

Sunrise is an optimal time to visit this spot as the sun rises to illuminate the bridge and city skyline. Come earlier during blue hour to capture the changing colors in the sky and you may even get some of the city lights while they're still on before dawn.

Bring a jacket as this spot can get VERY windy.

I framed this shot with the road, so a wide-angle lens (16mm) was best here, but other shots using a closer zoom of just the bridge and city skyline are amazing from this vantage as well.

Time your shot wisely and you may be able to capture a long exposure of the car trails as they make their way up Conzleman Road.
