Description

Added by Pine Watt

Arriving at Twin Peaks at night offers a special chance to see the city lit up in all its glory on clear nights you are even able to see Berkeley and San Jose.

Most locals have heard of Twin Peaks, so if you hop in an Uber or Taxi you should be just fine. If not or you are driving yourself, head for Twin Peaks Boulevard, then just follow it to the top. Voila!

When you're there, be sure to catch a sunset, as it is absolutely breath-taking, If you are luck Karl the Fog will roll in like a tidal wave of fog engulfing everything. It truly is a unique site

It’s a romantic date spot for sure. Please be careful as there have been a lot of break ins to cars. No valuables!

Depending of the day or time when you come here you should always bring a jacket. You can catch one of the best views in the city here. Come here during sunset and the sunset is quite nice. But then the fog rolls in just as quick and soon either disappears or stays. You can get lucky a park up there or not . It is a popular spot even for locals and tourist. I like it because of the view. It never gets old. And the drive is calming

Easy drive up on the weekend. Plenty of parking and no one really around except a few other site seers. Will hopefully try again on a clearer day.

Can get very windy. There is some parking, but not much. View from the top is cool.

A friend and I hiked this before we went to watch Find Dory (yes, it was a great combo) and the sunset was beautiful! This is why I appreciate SF for its blend of city and nature. You'll see over the bay and mountains from afar. What more can you ask for in a city?

Twin Peaks is one of the most frequented panoramic views of SF, but for great reason! It is easily accessible and gives 360° views of the city. Start at the bottom for a little bit or exercise or park/get dropped of right at the top! After, stroll around the Haight, take in the local scenery, and grab a drink at Kezar's.

Twin Peaks Loop

There are a ton of ways to get here (and obviously that can affect the total distance) but this is starting from Clarendon. Follow along up Twin Peaks boulevard where you'll see the peaks upon your approach. Keep an eye out for traffic as there may be visitors driving toward and away from Twin Peaks. While hiking, be careful since there is poison oak. But other than that, just keep aware of wh...

Tank Hill

Looking for a cool, under-the-radar spot that’s perfect for picnics, chilling out, and chasing the sunset? Look no further than Tank Hill. This little gem of a mini-park is 650 feet high and tucked away in Cole Valley. It’s so small that many maps of San Francisco don’t even include it. To get there, drive to Belgrave Avenue and park on the street. Walk to the eastern end of Belgrave and you...

Take a Ride on the Seward Street Slides

Tucked away in a small neighborhood park in Eureka Valley is a set of really fun, slippery, and surprisingly steep concrete slides. They were originally designed by a 14 year old kid over 30 years ago, and we all owe him a big hat tip. People use a variety of sliding materials (saucers, food trays, etc), but good ol’ cardboard is your best bet. You can usually find some lying around at the base...

Mount Sutro Open Space Reserve Loop

The Mount Sutro Open Space hike is one of those gems that's just hiding in plain site. Most people live in San Francisco for years without ever knowing this hike even exists - which is totally fine with us. This 2+ mile loop is an easy, quick way to get back in touch with nature after a long day. As you'll see once you begin making your way towards to top, there are many different paths you can...

Glen Canyon Park Trail

Glen Canyon Park Trail is a loop most commonly used for running or hiking in the southwestern side of San Francisco, California. Parking for the loop is street parking, so be sure to take any valuables out of the car with you. Note: There are restrooms available at the Glen Canyon Recreation Center halfway through the loop if starting in Diamond Heights. You can also choose to street park nea...
