With a heart-pumping ascent to breathtaking vistas, Mission Peak is one of the most challenging and rewarding East Bay hikes. Don’t miss the opportunity enjoy our May Hike – have your photograph taken with the rest of the brave Cornell hikers at the famous “Mission Peeker” summit.

Join Cornell University alumni and friends for a hike of the infamous Hidden Valley Trail to Mission Peak summit.  We’ll hike a partially paved trail over 2,100 feet in elevation change. The scenery is breathtaking. The view is stupendous. There is an abundance of wildlife – including eagles, hawks, cows, elk, deer, bobcats and the occasional human hanglider.

Rest assured, there will be a group photo at the “Mission Peeker” summit with the Cornell University banner. It’s one of the most geotagged landmarks in Silicon Valley!

Date: Saturday, May 19, 2018 at 1:30 PM. Please arrive 20 minutes early.
