Bay Area - Mission Peak Loop (AI generated)

This is a very popular hiking trail in the Bay Area, very typical yellow grass - green trees vegetation in this area. Trailhead has limited parking space, we parked on the nearby Weibel street. We did counterclockwise, went up on the Horse Heaven trail and came down on the Hidden Valley trail. The last mile of Horse Heaven trail is narrow and steep, but not hard to walk to the peak for the last 0.2-0.3 miles. While Hidden Valley trail is a wide dirty road until the last 0.3-0.4 miles, which is steep and rocky. I recommend going counterclockwise, which is good for knees. The views on the top are magnificent, from San Francisco-Oakland in the north all the way to San Jose in the south.
