Southbay Date Night Drive
Hey everyone, what are some good spots to drive with a date? Ideally somewhere with some good views and places to stop. I was thinking Skyline is pretty good. Mt. Hamilton is a little too narrow, but its a possibility. Any other good roads? Looking for Safety/View/Passenger Enjoyability lol

I would say Mt Hamilton. If it allows reach Jame's lick it will be cold up there. But the view is beautiful. Or what he said near the beaches are nice drives and views. I'm not sure how close you're living. 2153 Casselino Dr
San Jose, CA 95136 is a place filled of apartments. There's a view that overlook the some parts of San Jose and it does look nice at night. There's a walk and park there. If you're into hiking try getting up above Mission Peak |

Cool thanks for the ideas, I'm in North San Jose so I think HW1 is too far away. Looks like Mt. Hamilton is the winner, never done it at night but its not like I'm racing anyone.
This is oddly specific lol I love Mission Peak but its just too cold for that. |

Imagine that it was night time and the hill you're standing you can oversea the lights down below you may or may not see the stars above. I couldn't think of the name when I was typing at that time. Communication Tower place. Last edited by Simpleviet; 11-28-2013 at 08:24 PM. Reason: picture |

Just follow Caleveras eastbound up into the hills, it will circle back to an awesome vista and then drop you off right on Capitol Ave between Hostetter and Berryessa. Did a drive with a FOB a few weeks ago, she broke out the iPhone and was taking pics the whole time. Don't do it too fast though, it drops to 1 lane on the return, and there are wild turkeys on the road before that.

Another alternative, if you are in the north bay, is a drive to the peak of Mt. Tamalpais. The view at the top is amazing, I believe a few of the folks here joined me for that drive a while back. |

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I went up Mt. Hamilton to Lick Observatory. The stars were AMAZING. Even saw some shooting stars! Highly recommended!
