This hike climbs from the Panhandle to the summit of Twin Peaks. Along the way are the Haight Ashbury, colorful houses, city parks, residential streets, steep climbs, public stairways and a short rocky trail. The highlight is panoramic views over San Francisco and the Bay Area. There are a couple busy intersections on the way up and often throngs of tourists at the top but much of the route is relatively quiet considering you’re in the city. Bring a jacket as the summit can get chilly on windy days.
