Dan Kato led a long hike of about 8 miles with a vertical climb of about 1800 feet at Mt Diablo State Park on Saturday, November 13th. They parked at Diablo Valley Overlook and started hiking on the Deer Flat Road. Hiking clockwise around the mountain, they turned right on the Bald Ridge Trail. On that trail they had lunch where the views were spectacular. They returned via the North Peak and Juniper trails.
