Turn right once more. This is view north to the city and the bay. Mount Tamalpais dominates over horizon. Look closer in the center of the photograph. It is Golden Gate Bridge. I just wish you to see the large picture of this. Turn right once more, and you complete the tour. • You can continue forward, or use ESC to come back and jump to the southern peak. There is another panorama there and a lot of close-up pictures: Mount Davidson, San Bruno Mountain with the white lines of streets, better view of Mount Sutro, with typical Sunset-style San Francisco houses. • You can even see San Mateo to the left and behind of San Bruno mountain. Black Mountain is hardly distinguishable from the sky. Diamond Heights residential areas, the Mission area. You can see the view at China Basin, Giants Baseball Stadium which is close to center. Oakland Port is behind the bay. • You can see the perfect view of Downtown and Market Street, Bay Bridge. Can yo see there a tiny tower in the upper right-hand corner? That's U.C. Berkeley. Do not forget to use [Esc] key to come back! • There is an Alcatraz view there, and a view of the northern part of the bay, and more great views of Golden Gate Bridge. |
I hope you like Twin Peaks. If you do, please, leave several words in the Guest Book.
Thank you!
How to get to Twin Peaks - directions. Take Market street. Go up. After you climbed up, turn right to Twin Peaks Drive. The drive is between Diamond Heights Blvd. to the left and Woodside Ave. on the right. There is enough of parking around, but it is a popular tourist destination.
Twin Peaks were called in Spanish the "Bosom of the Indian Girl". They are well visible from all downtown and Mission areas.
