Twin Peaks Viewpoint
San Francisco Bay Area (day trips), United States
45
min visit
Twin Peaks offers an unobstructed 360-degree panorama of San Francisco, the Bay, and beyond—the kind of vista that makes you understand why people fell in love with this city in the first place. On clear days, you can trace the Golden Gate Bridge, spot the Bay Bridge, and see all the way to the Marin Headlands and Mount Diablo. The twin summits sit 922 feet above the city, making it one of the highest points in San Francisco and a beloved spot where locals actually outnumber tourists.
