You are really at the end of the city. I tend to come here only if I'm all hiked out elsewhere because it's so far south. It seems like there are 2 areas to park, there is a lot at Harney Way...

When I took the isolated Candlestick Park exit off 101, I wasn't surprised at the huge condo buildings you pass by since I could see them clearly from the freeway heading up to the city. No, the...

Mount Diablo State Park

Rising high above the low hills of the East Bay, Mount Diablo is quite possibly the most recognizable natural landmark in the Bay Area and is clearly visible from most locations in the region. From its renowned summit, visitors can gaze upon the Golden Gate Bridge and the twisting waterways of the San Joaquin and Sacramento Rivers. Using binoculars, it is possible to catch glimpses of the famous Half Dome in Yosemite National Park.Must see and do at Mount Diablo State ParkMost visitors to the park head straight to the peak of the mountain. On a clear day, you can see 35 of California's 58 counties as well as the Sierra Nevada. Just below the summit is the Fire Interpretive Trail, an easily hiked trail with spectacular views that shows the natural recovery process still in progress from a 6,000-acre fire in 1977. If climbing is your thing, you may want to test your skills at Rock City or Castle Rock.Best and worst times to go to Mount Diablo State ParkIt can get a bit hazy in the summer, so often the best time for views is the day after a winter storm. The haze also isn't as prevalent in the early spring.Admission to Mount Diablo State ParkThe main entrance to the park charges $10 per vehicle, while the Macedo and Mitchell entrances charge $6. For camping the charge is $30 per day.Wildlife at Mount Diablo State ParkMount Diablo has many different habitats and animals in them. Lizards, foxes, squirrels, snakes, deer, and butterflies are very common. Raccoons, coyotes, and bobcats are seen on occasion, and even mountain lions make infrequent appearances. In the early fall, tarantulas can be easily spotted on the prowl looking for mates. The park is also home to a wide variety of bird species.Insider tip for Mount Diablo State ParkPerhaps one of the best parts of camping is relaxing with friends and loved ones while enjoying some adult drinks, but unfortunately all alcohol is strictly prohibited in the park. If you want to have a beer while sitting around the campfire you'll have to find another park that allows it.Author's bio: Dennis Biles is a freelance journalist who was born and raised in the Bay Area.
