I'm glad that Peter Hartlaub and Heather Knight are creating a 49-Mile Scenic Anything but Drive Route, and having recently visited Twin Peaks, I agree that there are unheralded views that are easier to access and more weather-friendly, not to mention safer from purse-grabbers. He mentioned Bernal Heights Park, Grandview Park, and the Golden Gate Overlook in the Presidio.
He also says that our idea that driving is the best way to enjoy the scenic route is like saying "a dentist's chair is the best place to listen to classical music."
These two San Francisco Chronicle writers are trying for "the lesser-traveled neighborhoods, divesity, art, delicious food, unique architecture, small business and discovery."
But when they put this to a readers poll, Twin Peaks got 52% of the vote. He ends by saying, "Twin Peaks will be on the 49 Mile Scsenic Route. Don't leave any valuables in your car."
