Description

Nama Water is hosting a series of events this summer to bring like minded community in the Bay Area together to make every day matter. Game Plan: Meet at trail starting point at 8am. Make sure you're feeling well & are ready for a challenging day hike. Bring your friends. Ping [email protected] to coordinate a ride (most of us dont have a car). Treat this like a usual hiking meetup - be nice & respectful. Get ready to make new friends and enjoy the views and conversations on the trail & the summit. About the trail Get to know this 9.3-km loop trail near Milpitas, California. Generally considered a challenging route, it takes an average of 3 h 55 min to complete. This is a very popular area for camping, hiking, and horseback riding, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. Dogs are welcome and may be off-leash in some areas. -- Read more at https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/mission-peak-loop-from-stanford-avenue-staging-area?u=m Tips: Very steep and very little shade on the trailDog friendly but it's hard on dogs (see review on Alltrails)This is a strenuous hike -- be sure you're up for it.Footing is tricky near the summitYou might see a rattlesnake; if so, give it plenty of room and don't provoke it.What to bring: Everything you would bring on a hike if you went by yourself.
