Grizzly Peak is a summit in Berkeley Hills which one crosses while driving in or out of the city. It is close to the Tilden Regional Park and provides a beautiful view of the nature in and around. It is a great place to drive, trek/hike or cycle enjoying the scenic view. We enjoy our drive through the Peak whenever we visit Berkeley and take photos of the unique view it provides of the Golden Gate Bridge and the surrounding Bay Area.

On a clear day, nothing beats a pleasant drive along the top of the hills at Grizzly Peak. And find some good hiking trails.

Normally a beautiful place to pull over and enjoy views but now you can’t pull over... cordoned off vista points due to irresponsible behavior of prior visitors who set off fireworks on high fire danger nights. A stupid few ruined it for many

This road is very windy and can be very slippery. Between about July and October there is elevated fire danger. Don't start a wildfire! No smoking, fireworks, little campfires! The turnouts have been blocked with chained eucalyptus logs to keep you out. The police are actively patrolling and issuing citations. The turnouts are closed from 9pm to 6am. There have been robberies and attacks in the area. If you get into a bad situation, call Oakland Police. They have jurisdiction.

Definitely worth the short drive but carefully put the address in your GPS — we ended up at a neighborhood basketball court first!
