Nature and former Victorian-era elegance combine at the far westerly point in San Francisco. Walk the winding trail among rocky cliffs, fragrant cypress and eucalyptus, and through upscale neighborhoods all the way to the Golden Gate Bridge. Keep your camera handy.

Anything is possible in Dolores Park. On any given weekend, join a mishmash of picnickers, yogis, dogs, kids, tourists, hippies and couples enjoying the fine views from its perch in the Mission neighborhood of San Francisco.

A campus built into the Berkeley Hills means strong legs and plenty of photo opportunities. When the fog allows, capture San Francisco's skyline and the Golden Gate Bridge from landmarks like the Campanile, Big C, the I-House steps and, just off campus, the Berkeley Rose Garden.
