We climb up to Maisie’s peak, the highest point in the park, for a 360 degree view of Silicon Valley and beyond. On clear days, San Francisco and Mount Tamalpais are visible to the north, Mount Hamilton to the east, the Santa Cruz Mountains to the west, and Mount Umunhum to the south. We end at Cooper Garrod Winery for a picnic lunch followed by winetasting (optional).
