Hawk Hill, California, Scenic viewpoint in Marin Headlands, California
Located at 920 feet elevation, Hawk Hill offers views of the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco Bay, and the Pacific Ocean from its summit position.
The hill contained military fortifications and radar installations during World War II, serving as a vital defense point for monitoring enemy vessels near San Francisco Bay.
The Golden Gate Raptor Observatory conducts research programs at Hawk Hill, documenting the migration patterns of various bird species throughout the fall season.
Visitors can reach Hawk Hill through a 1.5-mile hiking trail from the parking area, with informational displays and resting spots positioned along the route.
Every autumn, thousands of raptors pass over this hilltop during their seasonal migration, making it a primary location for bird observation in California.
