| This
park is one of the ecological treasures of the San Francisco Bay
Area. Every season in the park has its special qualities. Discover
for yourself the mountain's beautiful wildflowers, its extensive
trail system, fascinating wildlife and distinctive rock formations.
View the stars from its lofty heights, bike ride to its 3,849
foot summit or explore the more remote trails by horseback. The
park offers hiking, biking, horseback riding and camping.
On a clear day, from
the summit of Mount Diablo State Park visitors can see 35 of California's
58 counties. With binoculars, Yosemite's Half Dome is even visible
from Mt. Diablo. The park features include hiking and rock climbing
opportunities. The mountain was formed when a mass of underlying
rock was gradually forced up through the earth's surface so, unlike
other mountains, older rocks are encountered as you climb the
mountain. The mountain was regarded as sacred to Native Americans.
