This huge granite rock, situated on a quiet street in the Berkeley hills just 5-10 minutes walking distance from our home, is a great place to watch a stunning sunset over the Golden Gate Bridge. There are stone steps carved into one side of the rock, making for an easy climb up to the top. Rock climbers love the other side of the rock, which has some pretty difficult routes.
