Mt. Diablo

Have you ever driven by the 680 and noticed that huge mountain near the Danville and San Ramon area? Yeah, thats Mount Diablo!

Pick a day when the skies are clear and blue, when the temperatures are not too warm, and when the winds are calm and mellow to visit this awesome mountain range! Make sure you bring some cash, there is a 5-10 dollar entrance fee because it is a state park.

Your first order of business once you arrive? Drive to the summit, you get a full 360 view of the surrounding area near a stone observatory. Make sure to bring your camera and don't fall over!!!

Once your done at the summit drive down to any of the car stop areas and explore, there are so many pit stop areas along the way where you can stop, reflect on things, and explore the surrounding trails.

And for you hard core trailblazers, try going in the fall. I hear the tarantulas come out in the HUNDREDS for their annual mating! Doesn't that sound like fun?
