Len Turner Memorial Vista Point

I’m basically the Unilocal version of Christopher Columbus when it comes to Len Turner Memorial Vista Point.
Adventure. Discovery. All me.
Except I, of course, didn’t bring any disease or slaughter the natives when I came here. I did, admittedly, for just a second think that this would totally be the kind of place the Zodiac killer would hang out and wait for maker-​outers, but I think that’s only natural to think about when in a secluded area with just yourself and another couple, No? Just me? Well whatever.
I found this tucked away little overlook/​vista point while searching for an affordable grocery in the area (spoiler alert: I’m still looking). I zoomed right past it in my car and from the way it’s a bit tucked away at the peak of a mountainous hill and not easily accessible unless you know it’s there, and I’m going to guess that a lot of people do the same.
I had to drive by twice in order to catch the turn in which kind comes out of no where and can can only be accessed from cars on one side of the road, but when I did finally make the sharp turn in, it was a pretty great reward for all my efforts.
The view is pretty spectacular, overlooking the Peninsula, the bay, all those dang bridges, and San Francisco. I got some pretty brag-​worthy pictures that I promptly posted to Instagram and I’d imagine that most who come here do the same… or just make out like the couple in their car next to me did (barf).
I only give 4 stars because it’s a pretty small area, with 2 little benches, a rock, and 4 parking spaces. There’s not really room to explore beyond planting yourself in one spot and the hill is a little too steep and buggy (re: ants) to set up for a legit picnic. Plus, 4 parking spots really translates to 2.5 spots since parking terribly seems to be the norm around these parts.
Quick Tip: I’d def recommend bringing binoculars if you’ve got ‘em.
