Mountain View Cemetery is a microcosm of Oakland where you will find gravesites for a myriad of ethnic and religious groups who have made Oakland their home. It is a beautiful park as well as the resting place for pioneers, famous and not so famous Californians. The beauty of Mountain view is that it is part of community where people come to wander with their children and dogs to appreciate the grounds and the history and the amazing monuments. Worth an expedition!

Frankly, I'd rather get there later rather than sooner but if you're interested in a time capsule of famous Californians many of them are interred in this beautiful cemetery.In my youth we used to fish in the lakes there. As an adolescent I drove my go-cart on the narrow winding roads that criss-cross the entire place. (The resident security guard used to chase in his 1953 Plymouth but he was never able to catch us.)As an adult I've attended many Veterans Day ceremonies and similar functions.Unfortunately, I was there last month to bury my oldest childhood friend. RIP, Bill.

So Beautiful....Sounds Odd but this is truly one of the most serene places we have ever been! The views really are spectacular☆ Do Go & Pause to be Thankful for this Wonderful World + the opportunity we all have been given to Experience it:)

Enter this retreat at the end of Piedmont Ave after the buzz of the busy shopping street and you're in an urban oasis! Park along the tree lined streets and meander up paths into sanctuaries of peace and tranquility in the company of East Bay luminaries such as Julia Morgan, the Crocker clan, Ghirardelli family and Civil War veterans. Keep walking up the hill and you are treated to incredible views of the entire Bay Area!

This is one of the "hidden gems" in the Bay Area, CA. Though not exactly a tourist attraction, it is serene and old enough to have the most interesting memorials. The best part however, is the spectacular views of the Bay and surrounding area.

This cemetery is unbelievable. I spent hours there taking in the beautiful and serene area. Indescribable. A must see place.

We have never been to a cemetery like this in all of the places we have been. I can't think of a better place in which to be buried. First of all, it is a huge piece of property; secondly, it has the best views of the city and third, it is quiet and serene. The road winds up and down a mountain and at every stop is a panorama of beauty. You must come here when you visit!

Don't know how old this cemetery is, but it is a comfortable and interesting place to walk. Lots of crypts and gravesites to visit, even if you don't know anyone here...

I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 because this cemetery is really beautiful and I get together with other mothers to walk the grounds regularly. Unfortunately, yesterday, we were harassed by their staff, of course a male, who was offended with one of the mothers feeding her baby in public.She was even covered up, but his reasoning (yea right!!) was that if someone who lost their baby saw this, how would they feel??My question to him, then maybe a mother shouldn't take a bench to give a sandwich to a 2 year old or a grandmother, because what if someone came along and had lost one of them??!His response, "she should have some decorum!"Decorum sir!!?!Feeding your hungry child is not behavior in keeping with good taste, etiquette or decency!??!!!It was him who was not having decorum; to harass a protected class, which in California, breastfeeding mothers are a part of!So according to California Civil Code § 43-53. 1997 Section 43.3 of the Civil Code:43.3. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a mother may breastfeed her child in any location, public or private, except the private home or residence of another, where the mother and the child are otherwise authorized to be present.So without having a designated breastfeeding area, this man telling this mother to move was illegal and him questioning her decency for doing so was insulting!!Mount View Cemetery, maybe your staff needs to be informed about the law, before any future insult of this type leads to legal injury for you!Mothers feeding your hungry babies in public, maybe we should keep the video recorders on our phones on when we do, so that next time we can send a viral message to educate men like this that get jealous over babies having access to the womanly parts that they covet!

This cemetery has many beautiful, creative and ostentatious markers. There are some well known historical figures here. A great walk for people into art and history.
