About the event
Reservation Required: mtdiablohiker@gmail.com
On this family-friendly walk, we'll stroll up Mitchell Canyon in search of witches' brooms, devil's horns, ghost pines, and other scary and not-so-scary signs of the season. But first, we'll meet the famous 8-legged diva, Scarlett O'Harry (a tarantula), examine the skins and skulls of some of our native Bay Area fauna, and hear the tale of Bully Ingram, a pirate who jumped ship and took up residence in a cave near Mitchell Canyon!
We'll hike for about 1-1/2 miles with a slight elevation gain. Dress in layers and wear good walking shoes. Restrooms and water are available near the trailhead.
There is a $6 per vehicle park entrance fee ($5 for seniors). Exact cash required, pay at the entrance gate. You may also pay digitally by scanning the QR code on the sign near the entrance gate or Visitor Center, or text CA2902 to 53242. No…
