Introduction
Mt. Diablo is the highest point in the Contra Costa county. The book "California County Summits" by Gary Suttle says about the view:
"Mount Diablo's viewshed sweeps over 40,000 square miles. Only the view from Africa's 19,000 foot Mount Kilimanjaro takes in greater area".
Trail descriptions:
A number of trails will take you to the summit of Mt. Diablo. I will describe my favourite trail, well hidden from cars driving almost to the top. Refer to the above book (or other litterature) for alternative trails.
