Decided to see the sunrise from Mission Peak. First time I've started from Stanford Ave. Sunol side is still closed (because of the fires) and Ohlone College parking isn't open early enough for a sunrise trek. Got one of the last parking spots at 5:45 AM. Popular place 🙂
Took the clockwise route up by moonlight and made it to the top in plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful morning light.
Won't lie though… the steep, slippery slope on the way down had my knees screaming at me.
