Hiking Mt. Diablo

04/16/2011

It’s been a while since I posted photos to Flickr (not since I lived in Australia!) but since I got rid of Facebook, I need a new way to share the beautiful sights that I get to explore out here in the Bay area.

Mt. Diablo is east of San Francisco, on the other side of the Berkeley Hills. Brandon and I climbed to the summit (~3,800ft) from Rock City. A gorgeous sunny day, although it was a bit hazy. 8.5 miles round trip.
