Junjun's journey 俊记粉面粥: Twin peaks hike 徒步双峰山

I work close to the Twin Peaks, so sometimes I'll hike up there during lunch time. The weather's great, the sun finally came out after weeks of raining. I'm not complaining about the rain though, we are still in a drought.

The trail head is just right next to the twin peak gas station on the side of the street leading up to the peaks, and it takes me some 20 minutes to hike up to one of the peaks. The difficulty of the hike is easy to moderate, it's definitely easier if you wear appropriate shoes, and not wear leather shoes like I do >.< Maybe I need to bring myself a pair of old running shoes to work for this hike next time. You will have a great view of San Francisco downtown on the top, and you can also see all the way across the bay. There's also a public parking lot and a bathroom at the outlook. The hike definitely gets me ready for the rest of the work day :)

Trail info
Trail head: right next to the Twin Peaks Gas Station
Difficulty: easy-moderate
Length: 2 miles out and back

我在双峰山附近工作，所以有时候午饭时间我会徒步上山顶走走。最近三藩市不停地下雨，已经连续下了近3个星期了吧，不过我们到底还是大旱了4年多，我也不应该埋怨下雨天呢。今天难得的好天气，暖暖的又没有风，午饭时间一到，我就直接往山顶走去。

爬山径的起点就在双峰山加油站旁边，我大概花20分钟才爬上了其中一个山峰。这条径的难度可以说比较容易，虽然我穿着皮鞋 -_- 没办法拉，要上班啊哈哈，考虑以后放一双旧运动鞋在办公室。在山顶可以看到三藩市市中心，今天天气晴朗，还可以望到北湾和东湾。在山顶附近还有一个停车场，也有个公共洗手间。整个路程大概也就40-50分钟，很适合午饭时间走一走，心情大好呢。
