Rose Peak

Woot! This is my sixth of six, and my longest hike in about 10 years! The weather was great, and so were the hiking companions.

This is a great winter hike, when the sun is low and temperature is cool. I saw only a handful of people on the trail,

It was long. It was Veterans Day. It was to prepare for next weekend mt. Langley climb.

I completely agree with Jeff Hester “This is one tough hike.” Left before the sun was up and returned after sunset, but loved every minute

According to literature, a “single rose is, in essence, a symbol of completion, of consummate achievement and perfection.” And so this was my last hike

12hrs and 19.2 miles later……. Rose Peak was crushed. 2 friends and I started this hike at around 9:20am from Sunol Wilderness and ended it
