  • Mission Peak is a hard 6 mile loop trail in Fremont, CA. There's diffrent spots to start; I started at the Stanford Avenue staging area. Most people went to the left and did not complete the loop. the loop going right is the hardest of the loop section. Going left you avoid some extremely steep sections and still get to Mission Peak. There is very little shade. Mixed with strenuous hills and no shade; BRING LOTS OF WATER. Drones are not allowed in this area. I loved this trail. The views are amazing almost right away and only get better the higher you go. This trail is really popular. There's more information in the video. Feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions.

    Just a little "steep"! Next time, here are some synonyms for ya: precipitous, sheer, abrupt, sharp, perpendicular, vertical, vertiginous. lol I too, am one of those who end up going the opposite direction to the regular crowd. The tree has been found and fantastic views enjoyed! Take great care now and hope you have yourself a very Merry Christmas from Bruce and Otis!

    I did this hike yesterday from Ohlone College trail, we started 7am, reach the top around 9ish. It was my 2nd time reach the top out of 3 times lol (yes I gave up my 1st time). Its no joke but worth the view! Sadly the iconic post has been cut off.

    I'm a hike-aholic living in the Dublin/Pleasanton/San Ramon area. I hiked Mission Peak for the first time on Monday, 9-18-2023 (I'm posting this on 9-21-2023). You weren't kidding about the parking situation. The parking lot opens at 6:30 am (as you said, there's no parking fee). I got there at 8:15 am, and it was already completely full. I found street parking a block away, and when I started the hike up, I could already see several people coming down, so I guess the lot starts filling up immediately upon opening. No complaints, though. Its easy to see why its so popular. Its reasonably challenging, and non-stop beautiful!

    • @ChooseAdventureCaliforniaStyle
      @ChooseAdventureCaliforniaStyle  Před 10 měsíci

      I'm glad you got to hike Mission Peak. I agree, it's non-stop beautiful views. I was lucky the day I hiked it, not to bad crowd wise. Definitely the earlier the better. I've heard the most epic hike is starting out in the dark with a headlamp. Then watching the sunrise from the peak. Was the Mission Peak pole fixed? I heard it got vandalized, and someone took the pole.

    • @AlexDanielCPhT
      @AlexDanielCPhT Před 10 měsíci +1

      The pole at the summit is a plain unmarked waist-high mildly rusty pole atop a 5-foot-high mini-hill of rocks. It is handy, cuz it provides something to hold onto atop that hill of rocks, so one can safely snap selfies. I'm unfamiliar with the pole's history, so I thought nothing of its plainness.

      @FoodinSR I saw on the news someone sawed it off and it's gone...🤔. This happened recently

    • @AlexDanielCPhT
      @AlexDanielCPhT Před 10 měsíci +1

      The top half of the pole is gone, yes. There's just the lower half still standing.

    • @AlexDanielCPhT
      @AlexDanielCPhT Před 10 měsíci

      UPDATE: According to a KRON4 news story on Sept. 4th by Sophia Villalba and Amanda Hari, the sawed-off top half of the pole has been recovered, per the East Bay Regional Park District. But it hasn't yet been re-attached at the summit.

    • @ChooseAdventureCaliforniaStyle
      @ChooseAdventureCaliforniaStyle  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Hey! Thanks. If you do the loop like I did, there is a small section of "forest." It's not a big section at all. Other than that, it's all in the open. It's an awesome hike.

    • @ChooseAdventureCaliforniaStyle
      @ChooseAdventureCaliforniaStyle  Před 2 lety +1

      I think I went about 6 days ago. I saw on fb it was snowing up there. I'd imagine it would be muddy. Keep an eye on the weather though... but ya, probably safe to say muddy. The way I went for sure would be rough, the other way(left) might be ok. There is 1 steep climb before the summit that could be muddy. Good luck!
