Mount Diablo

On our last trip to San Francisco to watch a baseball game, we took a side road (surprise, surprise) and happened upon Mount Diablo. You can find it on purpose by taking North Gate Road east of the Highway 680.
View Larger MapIt’s a beautiful, winding, drive up the mountain to the visitors center. We went and stood on the tip top of the mountain. There are great views (especially if you bring binoculars) and a very informative visitor’s center. Even beautiful wildflowers. There is a lot to do you here, with hiking trails, bicycle routes, and camp sites. It was a great find. If you want more information about Mount Diablo, check out:http://www.mdia.org/.
