Streak to Mission Peak - 7.9 miles
Pacific Coast Trail Runs and thetrailportal.com welcomes you to our first "Streak to Mission Peak, apart of the 2021 Bay Area "Open Course" Triple Crown Event. Mission Peak rising steeply to the east of the city of Fremont, Mission and Monument peaks form a dramatic backdrop to the South Bay. The determined adventurer who reaches the top of Mission Peak will be rewarded with views of Mount Hamilton to the south, the Santa Cruz Mountains to the west, Mt. Tamalpais to the north, and Mt. Diablo and the Sierra Nevada to the northeast. Hawks and vultures share the summit airspace with sailplanes riding the thermals, and a down-to-earth herd of feral goats roams the cliffs.Take your picture in front of the iconic Post.
