Mission Peak Meet-up 12/18
Posted: Fri Dec 09, 2016 1:51 pm
This will be done via the Stanford Trailhead, we will be starting at 10 am come rain or shine, unless we get a Cat 3 storm come in, but the long-term forecast calls for Sunday to be okay. We will be going via Horse Heaven route, steeper and much less crowded than the main trail.
This is about a 3-4 hour hike depending on speed, some parts are quite steep, and it has great views from the summit.
Driving directions:
• From Interstate 680 in the Warm Springs District of Alameda County, exit Mission Boulevard (exit 12). Drive northeast on Mission Boulevard to Stanford Avenue, and turn right. Drive about 0.5 miles to the trailhead at the end of the street.
• From Interstate 880 in Alameda County, exit Warren/Mission Boulevard (exit 12). Drive northeast on Mission Boulevard, pass under 680 and turn right on Stanford Avenue. Drive about 0.5 miles to the trailhead at the end of the street. (Note: if you quake in fear at the thought of driving on 880, and are traveling from the peninsula, you can take a slower, prettier, less stressful drive. Drive east across the bay on the Dumbarton Bridge, which becomes Decoto. About 4 miles from the Dumbarton Bridge toll plaza, turn right onto Paseo Padre Parkway. Drive south a few miles, to the junction with Mission Boulevard. Turn left, and make the first right onto Stanford Avenue.)
Chime in on this thread if you make it.
