What to expect:
Our 1st peak in the challenge is Mt. Umunhum. This hike is rated as moderately challenging with 8 miles round-trip, and 1,194ft elevation gain. Trust us, the views at the summit are worth the effort!
We will meet at the trail head, and start the hike to the summit together. As we climb this beautiful hidden gem, we'll arrive at the summit with amazing views of the the Bay Area, San Jose to SF. We'll hang out, enjoy our lunches, and exchange stories. If you're new to the club, this is a perfect event to come out and meet other new members and some long time members too! Challenge yourself, embrace the thrill of elevation, and discover the extraordinary sense of accomplishment that comes with reaching the summit. Whether you're a seasoned trailblazer or a novice explorer, join us as we conquer new heights together. We are setting out to hike the Bay Areas tallest and most iconic peaks. Who needs Everest when you have Mount Tam, St. Helena, and Mission Peak in your backyard?
