Bernal Heights
About
Bernal Heights is a summit in San Francisco County, California, rising to about 464 feet. The nearest town is Daly City, roughly 4 miles away. The most comfortable time to visit is late summer into fall. September and October bring typical highs around 70°F with very few wet days, while winter months average about 11 wet days. These are typical averages from a nearby weather station in downtown San Francisco, about 150 feet lower than the summit, so temperatures at the top may run slightly cooler.
