First Day Hike: New Year's Saunter on Mount Diablo

***Hike is Full***

Reservation Required (space is limited to 30 participants).

Start the new year on the right foot (or left foot, if you prefer) with nature hike up Mitchell Canyon. As we walk, we'll search for signs of the season, including mistletoe, beard lichen, California holly, and those natural tree ornaments, “oak apple galls” and “California pears”. We might even crash a ladybug slumber party!

This is a moderate 4-mile hike with a slight elevation gain. There is an option for an easier 2-mile hike. Rain cancels.
