The panoramic views from Sunol Peak make the strenuous hike to the top worthwhile. Sunol Peak offers stunning views of the Diablo Range, Mount Hamilton, Mission Peak, and on clear days, even downtown San Francisco and the Pacific Ocean.

Keep in mind it can get quite windy up here, even in the summer a windbreaker is advised. Bring plenty of sunscreen as most of the trail is quite exposed.
