Mission Peak
Pop and I went up Mission Peak on a beautiful January morning. We took the “normal” path up the Hidden Valley trail then cut across Hidden Valley on the Grove Trail to Horse Heaven Trail to get to the peak. That’s definitely the best way up and down.

We took Horse Heaven trail to the bottom, and the last 2/3 was a killer. It’s VERY steep after Hidden Valley.

It’s such a great time of year to go up there. 60 degrees, green grass, water flowing in the streams. I want to do it every week now…

http://www.flickr.com/photos/thenobot/4327227692/ man this picture of the radio installment looks exactly like the one on the way to the alamare falls/bass lake trailhead near point reyes. Except in the background is the pacific ocean, very LOST/USSR looking. Wish I had a picture of it….
