Twin Peaks, San Francisco Overview

The Twin Peaks are a famous pair of mountains, named Eureka and Noe, that offer some fantastic views of San Francisco and San Francisco Bay.

The Twin Peaks are prominent enough to be seen from various parts of the city. At a height of 282 metres above sea level, they are the second highest point in the city, beaten by Mount Davidson by a mere metre. Though the top of the mountains hasn't been developed, it still serves as one of the best activities when you visit San Francisco. Some panoramic vistas of the city and the bay, along with a huge variety of plants and animals species make the Twin Peaks among the most favourite natural locations in the city. The endangered Mission Blue Butterfly is often found floating æaround in the strong winds of the mountains. You will be amazed at the natural beauty of the location as you hike up to the top, since there are no direct public transport routes till there. Well, a view which makes you work for it is all the more beautiful, isn't it?
