About the event
Reservations Required: mtdiablohiker@gmail.com
Join us to explore Back Canyon and Donner Canyon. Our early morning hike takes us on the Coulter Pine Trail to beautiful Back Canyon, and from there to Donner Canyon. Along the way, we will enjoy riparian and oak woodland habitats and share a bit of Mount Diablo history at the Donner cabin site. We’ll also view the results of recent prescribed burning in the park.
Bring liquids and snacks. Dress in layers and wear good hiking shoes. Bring poles if you normally use them. Restrooms and water are available near the trailhead.
There is a $6 per vehicle park entrance fee ($5 for seniors). Exact cash is 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 app is required.
