Mission to Monument Peak

Great hike up the back side of Mission Peak. Free parking on Mission Blvd gets you bonus hiking miles. Our group of four went past Mission Peak to explore Monument Peak. Couldn’t find any monument, but the views are spectacular. Also, got a good look at how close the fires had come – and why this was a sub peak for Rose Peak which was closed due to fire damage.   We went up Mission Peak on the way back,  then headed down the less traveled trail on the backside.  A beautiful,  clear day for this Peak!
