Idea by @Dana Ruiz

Drive (or pant up) to the East Peak of Mt. Tam at sunrise. The fog usually still hangs in the canyons below the ridgeline; the bay lights up gold; you can see the city, the Farallones, Sonoma — pretty much the whole top half of the Bay Area on a clear morning. Pack a thermos. The Gravity Car Barn museum opens later in the morning if your visitor wants the bonus history layer.
