Hiking and Exploring Mount Diablo State Park
Join me on a trip to Mt Diablo where I drive up to the higher summit, take in the spectacular views and then I hike from the west peak to the east peak and back. This was an amazing hike and one of the most scenic I've ever done.
Mount Diablo is located next to Walnut Creek, California in Contra Costa County in the Coast Range of Northern California and situated in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area.
FROM WIKIPEDIA:
Mount Diablo is a mountain of the Diablo Range, in Contra Costa County of the eastern San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California. It is south of Clayton and northeast of Danville.
It is an isolated upthrust peak of 3,849 feet (1,173 m), visible from most of the San Francisco Bay Area. Mount Diablo appears from many angles to be a double pyramid and has many subsidiary peaks, the largest and closest of which is the other half of the double pyramid, North Peak, nearly as high in elevation at 3,557 feet (1,084 m) and about a mile northeast of the main summit.
The peak is in Mount Diablo State Park, a state park of about 20,000 acres (8,000 ha). The park was the first public open space of a complex—according to Save Mount Diablo—now including 38 preserves, including nearby city open spaces, regional parks, watersheds, that are buffered in some areas with private lands protected with conservation easements. Preserved lands on and around Mount Diablo total more than 90,000 acres (36,000 ha). The day use fee per vehicle for the park is by entrance way: $6 via Macedo Ranch (Danville) or Mitchell Canyon (Clayton), and $10 via South Gate Rd. (Danville) & North Gate Rd. (Walnut Creek) leading up Mount Diablo.
On a clear day the Sierra Nevada is plainly visible. The best views are after a winter storm; a snowy Sierra shows up better, and summer days are likely to be hazy. Lassen Peak, 181 miles (291 km) away, is occasionally just visible over the curve of the earth.[5][6] Sentinel Dome in Yosemite National Park is visible,[7] but Half Dome is hidden by the 8000-foot ridge at 37.755N 119.6657W. Eight bridges are visible, from west to east: San Mateo, Bay, Golden Gate, San Rafael, Carquinez, Benicia, Antioch, and Rio Vista.
Claims that the mountain's viewshed is the largest in the world—or second largest after Mount Kilimanjaro—are ill founded. It does boast one of the largest viewsheds in the Western United States and played a key role in California history. Countless peaks in the state are taller, but Mount Diablo has a remarkable visual prominence for a mountain of such low elevation. Its looming presence over much of the bay area, delta, and Central Valley, and good visibility even from the Mother Lode, all key regions during the gold rush and early statehood, made it an important landmark for mapping and navigation. The summit is used as the reference datum for land surveying in much of northern California and Nevada.

Mount Diablo - Mitchell Canyon descent
It's been decades since I wasted gravity descending back down the fire road on a MTB vs. the local tasty singletrack. The pavement at Juniper was closed due to the Diablo Challenge and Mr. Ranger was having none of me getting by so I got to skate around on some Norcal marbles while heading back down the fire road that I had just climbed.
~5 miles and ~2200' of down.

Chased by a Wild Turkey on Lime Ridge, Concord, California
Don't mess with momma turkeys! This morning, while trail running up on Lime Ridge, I came around a bend and found myself surrounded by peeping baby turkeys. Suddenly, momma turkey burst from the brush, hissing and beating her wings. She chased me about 50 yards back up the trail, ignoring the car keys and cell phone that I threw at her. This video is my second attempt to get past the ferocious bird...
