Twin Peaks 'great view-when it's not foggy' gag

Twin Peaks (the Twin Peaks Summit area) offers one of San Francisco's most famous panoramic viewpoints above the city and is accessible by road and parking areas at the summit. Because San Francisco's marine layer often brings fog, locals routinely joke that the classic city panorama from Twin Peaks only appears on rare, clear days. The site is a documented scenic overlook and popular visitor spot for sunrise, sunset, and cityscape photography. The summit area is managed by the city and county of San Francisco as a public viewpoint.
