Haight-Ashbury The matrix of yet another Bohemian movement that San Francisco has given birth to, this area nurtured idealistic hippies in the late 1960s. They brought international awareness to alternative ways of life, living in harmony with nature and espou sing humane values (see p108).
Health Spa Napa Valley In a serene, open-air setting, guests can yield aches and anxiety to a plethora of pampering and invigorating rituals. For some, that may mean a stimulating fitness workout, or a relaxing grapeseed mud-wrap and massage overlooking the tranquil Spa Garden. d 1030 Main St, St Helena (707) 967-8800 www. napavalleyspa.com
Twin Peaks These two hills were first known in Spanish as El Pecho de la Chola, or The Bosom of the Indian Girl. At the top, there is an area of parkland with steep and grassy slopes from which you can enjoy incomparable views of the whole of San Francisco. Twin Peaks Boulevard circles both hills near their summits, and there is plenty of parking near the viewing point. If you re up to the climb, take the footpath to the top, above the main viewing area, to get a 360degree panorama. The residential districts on the slopes lower down have curving streets that follow the contours of the hills, rather than the formal grid pattern that predominates adriatic climate in most of the city (see p60). d Map E6
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Quoting Renaissance adriatic climate architec ture in thoroughly modern ways, SFMOMA has established itself as the city s premier Post-Modern effort. The interior has a flexibility and functionality that works perfectly with the collections displayed (see pp26 9).
