Nearby Features of Interest
The Ohlone Wilderness trail runs from Mission Peak through the Sunol Wilderness to Del Valle Regional Park near Livermore. Much of the land is owned by the San Francisco Water Department. Right to pass is subject to permit, which is available at the Sunol entrance gate. Several backpack campgrounds exist along the way. The terrain, especially between Sunol and Del Valle, is very challenging. Rose Peak is the high point, only a bit lower than Mount Diablo.

“... runs off
three-leggèd, scared,

return. A friend.”

““It looks as if
Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
And its eyes shut with overeagerness
To see what people found so interesting
In one another, and had gone to sleep
Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
Short off, and died against the windowpane.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“I should consider it a greater success to interest one wise and earnest soul, than a million unwise and frivolous.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
