Starting in the Mission, you travel through Noe Valley and up Clipper Street to Twin Peaks, climb to the peaks and get a great view of the entire city. Coming back down you travel along Burnett passing some cute little houses and some lovely gardens, then through a segment of Eureka Valley, the Castro, and back to the Mission. I love this urban hike. Good sight seeing and relatively uncrowded.
