Mount Diablo

Super beautiful hike, lots of views of golden California hills. This was my first hike using hiking poles and they made a huge difference coming

My planed 12.9 mile hike (according to AllTails) turned in to a longer hike than I expected.  I started at the Mitchell Canyon Staging Area

I entered through the South gate and parked at Curry point. The drive to the trailhead was a bit intimidating. Narrow, winding road that needs

Started out very foggy, but sunny clear skies about an hour into the hike. Not a lot of shade so make sure to bring sunscreen

This hike was definitely a challenge. It was a sunny  day. The temperature was in the low 60's when I began the hike at around

First hike of the 6. Waited for my son to get home from college to do the challenge with him. It was a great day
