Twin Peaks provides some of the most iconic views of San Francisco, including the Golden Gate Bridge and the financial district, and both the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay. In a city of hills, you need to go to the top of the biggest one to truly appreciate the natural beauty of San Francisco.
This can be a difficult hike, and temperatures at the top may be colder than those down in Mission, so bring a light jacket.
You can also reach Twin Peaks by uber, if you want the views without working up a sweat.
