The two second highest peaks in San Francisco are on Twin Peaks, with excellent views of the city in all directions. Mt Davidson is a few feet higher ( komoot.com/highlight/369927 ) but Twin peaks is located closer to the city center. Since 2020 the East road circling around both peaks was closed off to cars and became a fantastic pedestrian/bike space.

Hiking

While the views over the city are excellent Twin Peaks also offers a look in to the past if you have a bit of imagination. Prior to livestock grazing and urban development all of San Francisco's peaks & hills would have been covered in similar grasses and low shrubs similar to the Marin Headlands.
