Located on Twin Peaks, it provides a 360-degree view of the city, including landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island.
The name comes from the tradition of lighting a Christmas tree on the peak during the holiday season, a practice that dates back to the early 20th century.
The area is home to the endangered Mission Blue Butterfly, which relies on the native lupine plants found there.
It's a favorite for photographers and sightseers who want to capture the stunning cityscape, especially at sunrise and sunset.
In 2020, the city implemented a temporary closure to encourage outdoor activities and reduce traffic congestion.
