Everest by the Bay Route Descriptions

Here is the information on the trailheads and the hiking routes for the nine peaks. Some of you might be tempted to follow in some of our footsteps by using our routes on one or more of the nine peaks. One way to deal with that temptation is to lie down until it goes away. Another is to get out there and do it. However, we strongly recommend that you obtain relevant maps before venturing out. Follow the links below or click on the name of a peak in the map.

I know, you are wondering how we could have gained more elevation on some of the days than that peak's elevation above sea level. Did we begin our hike on the ocean floor? No. In many cases we walked a loop or out-and-back route on which we gained, lost, and then regained substantial amounts of elevation. The elevation gained that we show here is the estimated sum of all the substantial gains in elevation during the day's hike.
