San Francisco's Coit Tower - a view from atop Telegraph Hill

The Tower atop Telegraph Hill offers some of the best views of San Francisco that you will find anywhere.....

coit tower, san franciscoThe Tower sits above the San Francisco skyline on Telegraph Hill.  The tower offers some of the most fantastic views of the city..... taking in the San Francisco Bay, The Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay Bridge, and the Marin Headlands. 

We traveled to the Tower as a part of our 2007 trip to San Francisco.  We decided to walk to the Tower.  It is a steep walk, but not too bad.  We decided to tour the Tower for the views of the city from the top.  The tower is 210 feet tall, but it sits on one of the highest point in the city - close to the bay.

There is an admission charge to take the elevator to the observation deck.

The additional photos were taken from the top of the tower.  The photos appear to have a bluish film over them because there was plexiglass over the tower openings due to the high winds coming in from the bay.
