Best places: Vista points in Contra Costa County, United States

Observation area with sweeping views & interpretive plaques, plus a parking lot & trail access.

👍👍 A short but steep hike up from Cal campus, rewarded with a stunning view. Recently I found a beehive in a tree on the way up :) 🐝🐝. The view is much better than you would expect. Recommend hiking on a cool day and/or bringing water - or you could stop in Downtown Berkeley for a cold drink afterwar...

👍👍 Peaceful spot to read a book or fish
