해안 산맥 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Mount Diablo, is the Bay Area second-highest peak at 1173m (3849ft). The challenging climb features constantly fluctuating gradients averaging 8%, with tough sections up to 18% and a brutal 23% finish in the last 200m. The equally demanding descent requires good bike handling due to tight corners, potholes, and strong winds. The road to the top is open daily from 8 AM till sunset.

The Serpentine Prairie Trail is a popular trail in Redwood Regional Park. At the trail head, there are picnic tables, parking, and great views.

It's really amazing that this stone bridge is still here. I understand it was originally built to easily get pack horses across the creek — and of course the people with them, too.

Prepare for cold knee deep water and stony ground. It is best to take the entrance from the other side of the cave. A headlamp comes in handy later on since the caves are very dark.

One of the few working water spigots on Diablo. Always tastes cold and fresh.

In the winter months (and sometimes late fall + early spring) look at the side of the trails for millions of ladybugs. It’s incredible.

One of the fiercest peaks in the Bay. Always worth the effort. It’s often much cooler on the summit than the rest of the trails — there is a water spigot up there to fill up bottles. Also a store is open at some times. Don’t bank on it.

This is a fantastic rocky outcrop just beneath Mount Diablo's main summit. It is worth scrambling to the top to get more of the incredible views this area offers.
