Mount Diablo
About this peak
Mount Diablo (3,849 feet) stands alone above the East Bay and has some of the best views in the region: on a clear day you can see the Golden Gate Bridge, the Farallon Islands, and the Sierra Nevada, with a line of sight to Half Dome. The recommended Six-Pack route climbs from the Mitchell Canyon Visitor Center via Eagle Peak and North Peak trails, about 13.2 miles with 3,274 feet of vertical gain. Download an offline map, since the web of trails and roads near the summit can be confusing.

Hazards
This is a long day with rugged, rocky singletrack and steep ridgeline climbs, and the web of roads and trails near the summit is easy to get confused in, so carry an offline map. Summer is hot and exposed, while winter can bring cold, hail, or snow near the top. Carry plenty of water, since there is little reliable water on the route. The park is open from 8 a.m. to sunset, so plan a start that gets you back before closing.
