Great hike and workout! A steady climb all the way up to the peak without much level ground. Trail is in great condition, no gravel, but we definitely made good use of our hiking poles (highly recommend!) coming down from the summit! Wildflowers are in bloom and there are cows throughout the hills. We hiked up Peak trail to the Summit and down Hidden Valley Trail to the Stanford Staging area. We were going to make this an out and back hike but in the interest of time, because we were running late, we had to cut things short and made this a one way hike, ending it at the Stanford staging area and getting a ride back to our car at the Ohlone trailhead.
