Mission Peak in March of 2008

Since I started hiking again last September, I figure I should find a time to go up Mission Peak in Fremont. I figure the best time to do this hike would be in the early spring time. This would be the first time in 15 years I have lived in the Bay area. I went up for 3 hikes up mission peak in just in March of 2008.

Mount Diablo - Summit Trail

I live 6 miles from the south gate of Mount Diablo for over 8 years. Last September, I decided to pick up hiking again and take advantage of these wonderful trails in my "backyard". I stopped after going up ther for 3 times in September and October of 2007 for various reasons - rain, ski, travel... Finally started again in Feburary.
