Rose Peak
About this peak
Rose Peak (3,817 feet) is the high point of the Ohlone Wilderness, reached through rugged terrain and rolling green hills in the Diablo Range, with an optional detour to seasonal Murietta Falls. The recommended Six-Pack route is the out-and-back Ohlone Wilderness Trail from Del Valle Regional Park, about 20.2 miles with roughly 4,500 feet of vertical gain. It is a long, tough day with little reliable water, so carry plenty and start at first light.

Hazards
This is a very long day of steep, relentless climbs and descents, so trekking poles help. Water sources are off the trail and all water must be filtered or treated, and creeks like Williams Gulch can be seasonal. The route is exposed and hot in summer, and cell coverage is limited. Check the boundary board at the wilderness entrance for current warnings. Dogs are allowed on day trips per the park district but not on overnight trips; the hike is very long for dogs.
