San Francisco Aerial View



The best way to understand any city is to get an aerial view. If you notice, the San Francisco Bay Area is the shape of a thumb, and the city the fingernail.

The geographic center of San Francisco is Twin Peaks, which has a remarkable view. In fact, you can see both bridges, the Golden Gate to the north, and the Bay Bridge to the east. Just a few miles from Twin Peaks is the highest elevation of San Francisco - Mount Davidson, which is about 800ft above sea level. There is an enormous cross on the top of Mt. Davidson, where many people celebrate Sunday worship.

There is much to see from the great vista points in the city, but I would recommend starting on Twin Peaks (or even Mt. Davidson) to get a lay of the land and start your journey from there.
