サンフランシスコ郡の絶景の山頂・トップ20

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.

Christmas Tree Point sits at the northeast end of Twin Peaks. It has a stunning view of San Francisco's skyline and is the second highest point in the city, standing at over 900 feet above sea level. Visitors get an unobstructed 360° panorama view of downtown San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and Angel Island. It was named during a 1927 promotional campaign by the San Francisco Examine; this point continues to be a beloved destination for both locals and tourists.

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!

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.

Nice view up there

A Must Do in the city of 48 hills: Great hill road climbing destination, rewarded by sweeping views. It's worth climbing the short stairway for the last bit to the top.

For a few years while the roads accessing the Treasure Island residential housing development are being rebuilt, this steep hill will be part of the only bike route connecting Treasure Island and its SF Muni bus & Ferry stop with the bike trail to the East Bay. At least it offers an elevated panoramic view of the island. Beware: due to construction activities the trail access may only be open on weekends!
