Two 922-foot summits at the geographic center of SF — the city's most iconic 360° view.

Twin Peaks rises 922 feet above the city near its geographic center, offering one of the most famous panoramic views in California. From the top you can see downtown, the Bay Bridge, the Golden Gate, the Pacific, and (on rare clear days) Mount Diablo. The summit is reachable by car, bike, or a short uphill walk; trails wrap around the saddle below.

🌉 Why Locals Go Here

On a clear night, the entire city glows below you. It's the ultimate SF date spot.

What to Expect

Wind. Cold. Tourists. Wildflowers in spring. Fog in summer.

💡 Good to Know Before You Go

Bring layers — it's almost always cooler and windier than downtown. Limited parking on weekends.

📍 Local Tip

Drive up at 1 AM on a clear night — almost no one is there, and the city sparkles.

Best Time to Visit

Clear evenings, fall and winter; sunrise.
