The view from Twin Peaks is absolutely insane. Definitely on par with Griffith in LA and just as iconic. Photos can't really show the full depth of field you get here.

Mountain biking

Originally named Mt Parnassus, the top of the summit is rather flat, partly because it was used as a part of the Nike missile guidance system. There are easy and pretty hair raising trails to get up and down, surprising choices of mountain bike legal trails in the middle of a city.

Hiking

At 911 feet Mount Sutro is the second highest point in the city. However due to it's dense forest many find the views to be underwhelming compared to Twin Peaks. However, if you are a fan of spotting wildlife, especially birds, this is the place to go in San Francisco. One observer noted over 30 different bird species in a single morning!
