Hiking from Sunol to Mission Peak in Fremont, CA (Part 1)

On March 11th, 2021, I went on a hiking trip to the top of Mission Peak in Mission Peak Regional Preserve in Fremont, CA. I hiked up Mission Peak from Sunol Regional Wilderness in Sunol, CA through San Francisco Water District land (Ohlone Regional Wilderness in Alameda County, CA). I took scenery photos with my phone and mirrorless camera, and my mom helped me take a few photos of me with my phone. The photos from my mirrorless camera are split into 2 blog posts, and another blog post for my cellphone photos. I hope you enjoy viewing the photos.

This was a very special hike for me. I have not been able to successfully make it up to the top of Mission Peak in almost 20 years! The last time I reached the peak, I was still a child. On the previous hike that I reached the peak, I hiked up with my family from the Stanford Avenue Staging Area in Fremont, CA.

Please note that if you are hiking on trails through San Francisco Water District land and Ohlone Regional Wilderness, you have to purchase an annual Ohlone Wilderness Permit.
