A hill just a mile or so from where I grew up. Had a lot of fun climbing around as a kid. Don't forget to see Clint Eastwood climb to the top in "Dirty Harry"!

Nighttime city lights
I hit the summit on my way through town to visit a buddy who lived up in Marin County. No problem finding the trailhead, even with Gary Suttle's somewhat dated 1993 description. It was at night, and a bit chilly on the summit, but the view of the city lights was awesome.
I must disagree with the comment from the description that county highpointing is the only reason you would want to visit Mount Davidson. There is a quite a nice view of the City from the summit here.
That being said, I generally prefer Twin Peaks for views of the city, less obstruction and a totally clear view downtown to the financial district.

it is what it is
A rather unique peak, my wife, friends and I went to the top to cap off a great 30th birthday weekend. Great Views!!!

Lame highpointing day
With Bob, quite possibly the weakest day we've ever spent out: Vaca, this one, and then two other equally forgettable bumps whose names I can't even remember down near San Jose. With the exception of North Pal last summer, I think this may have been the last time I went out highpointing.

yepOn my way back to the office from a job site, I saw the cross on the hill, and knew I had to ascend, ASCEND! to the mount.
