Mount Umunhum Cold War history: Sentinel in the Sky
Cold War history at a summit air station; 159 steps on the route
Learn about life and history at the Almaden Air Force Station. The walk is about a quarter mile but includes 159 steps, so short distance does not mean step-free access. The meeting point is already at the summit; allow separate time for the mountain drive.
Before you go
Follow the official directions to summit parking; stopping at Bald Mountain would leave an additional uphill hike.
Arrive early to sign the participation waiver, and check for cancellations or road closures.
Bring water, layers and good walking shoes; heavy rain may cancel, and the end time can vary.
This is not a dog outing. Midpen guided activities allow dogs only when expressly labeled.
