Mission Peak is a 2,517-foot summit east of the San Francisco Bay in Fremont. This steep, challenging hike gains over 2,000 feet in 3.1 miles to 360-degree views. Mount Tamalpais, Mount Diablo, Mount Hamilton, and the Santa Cruz Mountains encircle the peak on clear days. Rolling pastures in Mission Peak Regional Preserve unfold like a carpet beneath grazing cows, wild turkeys, and ground squirrels. Mission Peak is one of the most popular hikes in the Bay Area and hundreds of people hike it every weekend.
