| Jonodo | Del Valle Park  Date Climbed: Jan 16, 2007 | |
| That was a lot of uphill!! I started out with the intention of making this a trail run, but found I had to walk all of the uphill. I can't believe how steep some parts of the trail were. At least I was able to run the flats and downhill. Left from Del Valle Park at 7:30 am and summited at 10:00 am. The way back was much more pleasant. No wildflowers this time of year. | |

| Peak Baguette | Route: Ohlone Trail from Del Valle, Date: 11.07.06 Date Climbed: Nov 7, 2006 | |
| It sure felt like a lot of up & down, confirmed by 5979 total ascent on my GPS! Liked it so much I might try to summit this “in reverse” from the Stanford Ave. side later this week ;) | |

| Scott Fulton | Ohlone Wilderness Trail 50K Date Climbed: May 21, 2006 | |
| I summited Rose Peak almost 6 hours after beginning the Ohlone Wilderness Trail 50K ultramarathon, which started at Stanford Avenue in Fremont. Thankfully we had better weather than this race usually has, and it was drizzling lightly from Sunol all the way to the top of Rose Peak and beyond. At the end of the race, I forgot about all the uphill because I was suffering through all the relentless, unrunnable downhill. | |

| Diggler | Route Climbed: From La Valle Regional Park Date Climbed: 25 April, 2005 | |
| Started from campground parking lot @ 11.50. Beautiful area, off & on weather (rain actually made the experience that much more dramatic!). Took a side trip to 'Discovery Peak (summiting @ 15.51),' summiting Rose Peak @ 16.58. Subsequently got my drink, snack, & toke on @ summit before departing @ 17.21. Reached TH @ bike @ 21.00. In summary, ~20 mi RT, 5,300' total elevation gain, motorcycle-to-motorcycle time: 9:10. Overall impression: beautiful area, phenomenal wildflower exhibits, & great workout. Cool wildlife encounters included vulture swooping ~20' over my head, the garter snake encountered on the trail that played dead (except for its tongue which it couldn't keep from flickering in & out of its mouth), & hearing the cries of a hawk in close proximity. $6 parking fee @ a regional park is bullshit. | |

| A good warm up hike. We were the only people on the summit. Was quite windy on top. Clouds blocked any great views of the Bay Area. But really pretty rolling green hills and other wildlife. Spring is a good time to do this hike. | |

| A long but scenic trail. Avoid during the summer but on a nice winter day it's great. The summit itself is not spectacular in the least but it was a fun hike. 7 hours ctc. Cows a-plenty. | |

| Maverix | Route Climbed: Ohlone Wilderness Trail from Sunol Regional Park Date Climbed: January 8, 2004 | |
| Reached the Sunol Regional Wildnerness kiosk at 7:30am, the attendant wasn't there so I didn't have to purchase a parking permit. I had planned to purchase a Ohlone wilderness trail permit at the kiosk, but since it wasn't open, I just opted to head on out for the hike. Parked as far south as I could on Camp Ohlone Road, and walked the rest of the way, taking a left turn beyond the 'W' tree. Took Backpacker trail up to the Ohlone Wilderness trail which I followed to Rose Peak (about an 8.5 mile walk one way from the car). The trail gradually climbs up to the peak, except at trail marker 25, where the trail detours through a valley to the next ridge to the south and a short downhill is reached. Made it to the summit in under 4 hours. On the way back I took a slightly different route back, following Welsh Creek road for a time, in order to avoid a herd of cows that I had met up with that morning (shoo cows!). Really enjoyed the hike. | |

| The best thing to do on a 100+ degree day in the Bay Area is NOT to climb Rose Peak. I made the annual training hike with a 60 lb. pack and camped at Maggies. Great sunset as usual. | |

| A very pleasant hike (much longer than 7.5hr CTC for me!); I especially enjoyed the side trip to Murietta Falls, which were beautiful. | |

| Matthew and I dayhiked the Ohlone Wilderness Trail in opposite directions. It was a mostly overcast day, perfect temperatures. Poor views from the summit due to low clouds, but the wildflowers were wonderful. A most enjoyably 28mi! 7.5hr CTC. Trip Report | |

| Did a two day trip from del Valle to Sunol camping at Maggie's Half Acre just below the north side of the summit. It was a cold dreary first day. We left the day after Easter and it rained and even snowed off and on most of the day. Tuesday dawned clear and cold and made for much nicer hiking on to Sunol. Hiked from Sunol out and back. A very enjoyable day. | |

| Definately not a good idea to hike this trail in Summer. I've done the hike 3 times and gotten to Rose Peak twice. The temp tends to get in the 90's with very little shade in most parts. But it's still worth it to watch the sunset from the peak. | |
