Hawk Hill in the Marin Headlands reopened after a 15-year restoration that cost millions. The 923-foot peak offers views of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco, and once served as a coastal defense site through World War II. The National Park Service rebuilt trails, added lookouts and seating, and restored native plants and historic military structures.

The best place to get a view of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco skyline just got even better. Hawk Hill, a 923-foot peak atop the Marin Headlands, sits at the border of the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean and was once home to military outposts in the 1900s through World War II as part of our coastal defense system. Over the years, it's been beaten down by the incredibly harsh environmental conditions in the area, the wind and all the moisture from the intense fog. But thanks to a 15-year multimillion-dollar endeavor by the National Park Service and Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, the area's been rehabilitated new pathways, new lookouts, an upgraded tunnel loop trail, new seating, bike racks, restored vegetation, and rehabilitated military installations. If you haven't been recently, go check it out. It's got a whole new look. Really excited to see this project completed. This is truly one of the best places to see our beautiful skyline.
