"Got roasted on this one but it serves me right. Finally made the trek to Monument Peak, part of the Bay Area Classic Peak Challenge. Did it as a rhike (hike the uphills, run the flats and downhills). From the top of Monument I (still) felt good so decided to head over to the maybe slightly higher(?) North Monument. From there Mount Allison looked tantalizingly close so decided to run over there. Climbed up the gravel road on Mount Allison to the point where a sign says "Do not cross this line, video monitoring, blah, blah". Bummer of a summit. But from up there Mission Peak looked tantalizingly close, so before I realized it I was heading over there. A hiker on Mission Peak was incredulous that I'd come from Milpitis side without any water, but I felt totally fine.

"Started at the Mission Peak trailhead on Stanford. Hiked up Horse Heaven to the saddle and headed South to the 3 Monument Peaks, then to Allison Peak and to Mission Peak. It was just under a12 mile trip, approximalty 3,239' in elevation gain, 3:06 moving time and :24 minutes stopped time. Hiked up with a day pack and trotted the ridge line to the 5 different peaks.

"Hike was very dry and hot on this beautiful 4th of July. Suggest early morning start, if going on warm day. Not a very pretty hike in summer (lots of brown grass). When you get to the top, the marker is on the right, behind the square cement foundation." — colleenmarie512 • Jul 4, 2017
