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 in most of the city (see p60). d Map E6
