You can access them from the Finder too, either with the menu Go->Go
to Folder... or via the keyboard: Cmd-Shift-G.  Either way, you can
then type in any directory (such as /bin/) and it will open up a
Finder window for it, whether it is normally visible in the Finder or
not.

If you're already in the Terminal (or other command-line shell), the
command "open [directory]" will open the directory as a folder in the
Finder.  So, "open ." will open the current directory, and "open
/usr/local/bin" will open that directory in a Finder window.  Of
course, the quotes are just for this email, you don't type them in the
command.
