On Saturday Devin organized a hike to the top of Mission Peak. Overall the hike took about 3.5 hours with a 30 minute break at the top. It was roughly 6 miles round trip with a pretty sizable elevation gain. Overall it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be, but I can see how it would be a good training hike for backpacking trips. If you live in the bay area and you haven't done Mission Peak yet, I recommend you do it before the summer comes.
