View Near Mission Peak Summit: Photo Of The Day

FREMONT, CA — It's time for New Year's resolutions. How about spending more time in nature? Or getting more exercise? You can do both with hiking.

Patch reader Glen Mikesell took a lovely hike last Friday up Mission Peak in Fremont. He told us in an email, "I took several photos just a couple of hours ago and Google stitched them together into a panorama. This is from the Grove Trail near the Mission Peak summit trail in Fremont."

Mission Peak Regional Preserve is part of the East Bay Regional Park District. Activities at Mission Peak include hiking, camping, hang gliding, paragliding, and radio control flying.

Find out more about Mission Peak and accessing the trail heads, including dog requirements and horseback riding online.

Thank you for sharing this photo! If Glen's name sounds familiar it's because he sent this beautiful photo last week: So Blue! Quarry Lakes Post-Christmas: Photo

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breath-taking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we’d love to feature it on Patch.

We’re looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty that is Northern California, and that show off your unique talents.
