Divided by Twin Peaks Boulevard, the two hills are the prominent shield for the fog. The west side of the hills is often exposed to strong winds and fog, while the east side of the slopes often receive more sun and warmth.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"wp-image-255 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/goldenhorizontravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Twin-Peaks-views-of-San-Francisco-Sightseeing-Attractions.jpg\" alt=\"Twin Peaks views of San Francisco Sightseeing Attractions\" width=\"477\" height=\"249\" \/>At the top of Twin Peaks is located Sutro Tower, the most prominent of San Francisco&#8217;s radio towers, which can be seen from across the bay. Reservoirs on the hill are owned by the San Francisco Fire Department, and provide free drinking water to most of the city. There is also Christmas Tree Point, a viewing point that offers a clear view of most of San Francisco. Most of the hills are undeveloped, and has been designated at a habitat for many natural resources and endangered species, like the Mission blue butterfly.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"wp-image-253 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/goldenhorizontravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Twin-Peaks-views-of-San-Francisco-Sightseeing-Attraction.jpg\" alt=\"Twin Peaks views of San Francisco Sightseeing Attraction\" width=\"476\" height=\"278\" \/>The Twin Peaks MUNI tunnel connects Downtown with West Portal and the southwestern part of the city. It opened in 1918, and cut the commute time of the city by 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img class=\"wp-image-256 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/goldenhorizontravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Twin-Peaks-Vista-Point-San-Francisco-city-tour.jpg\" alt=\"Twin Peaks Vista Point San Francisco city tour\" width=\"464\" height=\"351\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With the opening of the Tunnel came a migration into Forest Hill, West Portal, St. Francis Wood, and Westwood Park. Architects and planners of the area west of Twin Peaks eschewed the grid pattern of Downtown San Francisco for wide, curving boulevards of residence parks.<\/p>\n<p>Twin Peaks is a residential neighborhood in San Francisco and a very desirable place in live in thanks to the views these hills offer over San Francisco Bay.<\/p>\n<p>Twin Peaks features a lot in filming commercials, videos, television shows and movies.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"size-full wp-image-281 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/goldenhorizontravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Twin-Peaks-vista-point.jpg\" alt=\"Twin Peaks vista point\" width=\"878\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goldenhorizontravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Twin-Peaks-vista-point.jpg 878w, https:\/\/goldenhorizontravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Twin-Peaks-vista-point-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goldenhorizontravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Twin-Peaks-vista-point-768x385.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 878px) 100vw, 878px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Watch the video:<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Twin Peaks  San Francisco Attractions\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7a3zd89vgow?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Reserve your San Francisco tour here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/goldenhorizontravel.com\/\">https:\/\/goldenhorizontravel.com\/<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Francisco Sightseeing Attraction San Francisco&#8217;s Twin Peaks are two hills, nearly a thousand feet high, in the geographic center of San Francisco.
