"Part 2 of a doubleheader with Hood Mountain to chip away at the SF Bay Area Classic Peaks challenge.
After finishing the Hood hike and wolfing down a banana and an apple, I felt recharged for the 2nd objective of the day. Started out on the scenic Lower Bald Mountain Trail that switchbacks through some incredible oak woodlands. Unfortunately this leads to the far less scenic paved Bald Mountain Trail (road!) that gets you up most of the way to the col between Red Mountain and Bald Mountain. From there a steeper fireroad climb takes you up to the summit through the best views of the route.
This peak cements its status as a Classic Peak with the incredible 360 summit views... could see back to Mt Tam and Diablo to the south, west to the Pacific, north to Mt St Helena and of course excellent views of the viewless Hood Mountain where I'd been a few hours earlier.
On the way down took a quick 5 min detour up Red Mountain... don't waste your energy unless you like microwave towers.
Then it was down pavement almost all the way... your knees will love it.
