Mission to Mission Peak
Last weekend the four of us Mayur, Purvi, Mahi & I decided to scale Mission Peak, in Fremont. Mission peak - is 2517 feet at it's highest, and the total height that one scales is about 2200 feet, as you end up starting at about 400 feet above sea level. It is quite a steep trail, and is constantly demanding. Once you reach the top, you can see views of Mount Hamilton to the south, the Santa Cruz Mountains to the west, Mt. Tamalpais to the north, and Mt. Diablo and the Sierra Nevada to the northeast. 
We climbed up from Stanford Avenue, and took a total of two hours to reach the top. It's a 2.8 mile hike one way, and a round trip is 5.6 miles. Coming down was faster, and that's when we actually realised the distance we had trekked. It felt as if it took ages to reach the entrance gate.
All in all it was a good hike - though we are still suffering from the after effects of the same. Planning to go again this weekend too, if possible.
