Clayton

Mount Diablo State Park

The mountain in the middle of the view, with a summit that explains the whole map.

On a clear day the summit is a geography lesson: the Delta, the Golden Gate, the Sierra, and the bay cities you thought were far apart. The drive is popular. The trails from Clayton, Danville, and the south side are the better way to earn it.

Wildflowers in spring and sharp light in autumn are the seasons locals plan around. Summer afternoons are exposed.
