Mount Olympus, San Francisco, California

Mount Olympus is a 570 foot hill, located on Upper Terrace in the Ashbury Heights neighborhood of San Francisco. It was once considered to mark the geographical center of the city, and was topped off by a statue given by Adolph Sutro. Currently only the statue's pedestal remains, and the view from the top is obstructed by trees and condominiums.
