Twin Peaks are two nearly 925-foot hills near the geographic center of San Francisco, offering the city's best free 360-degree panorama across downtown, the bay and both bridges. A short walk from the parking area or a steeper trail reaches the summits, and it is a classic sunset and night-view spot. It is exposed, windy and often socked in by fog, so check the forecast and bring a jacket even on warm days.
