Mission Peak

Arrived early (a little after 7am). Generous parking in the lot at the college.  The hike was beautiful and challenging. This early in the morning

Pretty. Lots of friendly dogs. Warm at the end in direct sun and no shade but there was an awesome cool breeze.

While midweek hikes at distant locales can make for later-than-normal bedtimes on a school night, the clear springtime skies and moderate afternoon temperatures made this

Arrive early, before 7, parking can be a challenge at the Stanford trail head, we opted for a little longer trail and started at Ohlone. 

Luckily found a spot to park at 6:30am on Friday and wanted to take the more difficult route (up Peak Meadow and down Hidden Valley).

Great little hike. 6.6 miles roundtrip.
