Description


I plan to have a dayhike in Mt. Diablo state park Sunday May 30th. I plan to meet at the Mitchell Canyon ranger station at 9am. From here I plan on get into mitchell rock trail, take that to the eagle peak trail and cross eagle peak. Then I will get on the ridge trail for short distance and then get on prospectors trail. After that, I will take the north peak trail to the summit.

There is a museum on the top of the summit as well as lots of great views. It has been said that Mt. Diablo has some of the most outstanding views in the U.S.

For my route back to the car, I plan to take juniper trail to the dear flat road trail, then get on the meridian trail and take that to the mitchell canyon fire road and it will take me back to the car.

It will be a loop hike with a total of 9 miles. Elevation gain and loss should be around 2000 feet.

We can have a pinic on the summit :o)

Hope many TTers can join me.
