    This has been on my want to hike list for a long time and I finally got to do it on a perfect day…read more The weather was great, overcast and cool. We hiked it so fast and the views were spectacular. I can't wait to hike this in the spring with all the flowers in bloom. There are so many surrounding trails and I want to do them all! Lots of bathrooms throughout the trail. There is a visitor center at the top which you can drive to also. Please come and creat your own adventure.

    My God-father lives nearby, and he thought this would be a nice little distraction from the…read morebustling cities below. He was right. The drive up was intense. It's been a while since I drove roads similar to this, so it wasn't too bad, up. Hopefully down is OK too. There is a small entry fee (per car), but also a senior discount. So we only had time for the Summit. There are more Yelp! listings for other parts of the park. OK, so I was not prepared for the breathtaking views! It was a slightly hazy, or was it smoggy, day... But the views were still fantastic! If the views were not enough, there is a visitors' center in the light tower at the summit. Inside is lots of information, a Rangers' Station, and several informative and/or interactive displays. And there is camping in Mt Diablo too! To make things even more interesting, we took a different route down. I don't like backtracking, so this was a bonus... And i wasn't too bad.

    Mt Diablo Summit - There's a stairway up to the museum. If you are looking for the restrooms, they are in the opposite direction across the parking lot.

See below for more info: COVID-19 precautions: Some people wear face masks. However, all we encountered were mindful of physical distancing and gave parties space. Five-mile moderately difficult trail: Black Diamond Trail is five miles roundtrip. In theory, you can go farther, but maybe not the best idea as there is a sign saying you cannot go past a certain point. The trail is moderate in difficultly as the way out is all uphill then balanced out with it being downhill on the return. Well-maintained and less traveled: Black Diamond Trail is well-maintained with no big rocks, just dirt and grass. A nice perk is that the trail is less traveled. We came across seven people during the hike, five bikers and two fellow hikers with dogs. As an extrovert, I truly appreciate hikes like Black Diamond which are not busy because I get to have some solo time with my thoughts. Zen but same scenery: Black Diamond Trail is zen and a great place to get some steps in and step away from the city. However, the scenery is the same for hike and consists of vegetation foothills and wildlife, i.e. much like Mission Peaks sanz the crowds. Free parking: Black Diamond Trail has free parking at the entrance. While there are seven parking spots, less cars may be able to park depending on how efficient other people are in parking.

It was neat in that there were historical building(s), a cemetery, and different parts of mines in addition to the natural landscape, plants, and animals to observe. I visited a few different times in 2018 plus or minus a year. One time I brought my friend Jinsol along and another time I brought family (my mom and dad). The park volunteers/workers were friendly when we encountered them. We appreciated the map(s) of the park, it helped with exploring. Some sites were more readily identifiable than others. My mom had difficulty on some of the steeper trails, though my dad faired well. Some parts of the mines had information displayed though were not open on my visits. One of my visits was during a heat wave, while the remainder were during relatively average weather conditions. Shade was sparse, though present, during the heat wave. Even in the shade however, the heat seemed to spread. On a different occasion I slipped and fell on a pathway that had a small section that was temporarily dominantly mud. A place requiring my full attention for traversing the trail system.
