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,
but tarries nearby and will
return. A friend.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“If a man walk in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer; but if he spends his whole day as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making earth bald before her time, he is esteemed an industrious and enterprising citizen. As if the town had no interest in its forests but to cut them down!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
