Trailhead Mount Diablo Summit via Mitchell Canyon Loop

Perfect, clear day for the hike. Started early around 8:30 – 9ish. Went around the Mount Diablo Summit via Mitchell Canyon Loop – 14 mile hilke with 3K+ ft of elevation. Went with a group of 8 people – all happy coworkers 🙂

Don’t underestimate the hike back off the summit! Refill your water pack at least 3L again. It got really hot on the way back and you’ll be mostly exposed to the full blast of the Sun and there’s little shade to escape to. Easy to get overheated and dehydrated, so make sure to refill your water. Avoid the hike during back during midday and till 3PM, if possible.
