What a great view of the city, but there's quite a windy drive up, so hang on to your hat and don't look too far off the road while driving- a little death defying drive! More

We decided to go to Twin Peaks at the last minute. I am SO glad we did it. The drive up is crazy (winding roads), and the view from the top is absolutely amazing! Make sure you put this on your itinerary! More

At about 920 feet high Twin Peaks offers great views of San Francisco and beyond. The viewpoint is located a bit out of the way, but picturesque views are unbeatable. Clear sunny days offer 360 degree views, but don't avoid gloomier days, watching the fog roll in can be just as beautiful. We visited this attraction as a part of... More
