Christmas Tree Point is a North and East facing viewing platform on Twin Peaks, the second highest hills in San Francisco with surround views in all directions. With an elevation of about 925 feet located near the geographic center of the city, they are only 3 feet lower than 928 foot Mount Davidson. The east-facing part of the former figure-8-road circling around both peaks is now closed to cars and offers great views of the city. I'd recommend to bike up the quieter West side and zip down on the other as in komoot.com/tour/10004664 .

Mountain biking

The city of San Francisco sprawls out before you to the north, offering an epic panoramic view of the Marin Headlands, Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and all of San Fran's iconic landmarks. The overlook gets its name from 100+ foot tall Christmas trees that were erected here in the late 1920s, before a living tree elsewhere in the city was chosen as the holiday's mascot.
