Mitchell Canyon, Mt. Diablo State Park - Aug 7, 2009

You are invited to join on a hike Friday (Aug 7) under the light of the full moon. Leaving the bay fog behind us, we will climb a flanking ridge of Mt. Diablo to attain a high spot called "twin peaks". From there we should have some nice views of the East Bay and delta. We will meet at the Mt. Diablo State Park Mitchell Canyon trailhead at 8:15pm. Please park outside the park gates. Feel free to invite like-minded others and do let me know if you plan to attend and if you need/have a ride. While only a mile or two each way, it will be a steep climb so do bring good shoes. Some light refreshments will be provided at the top. Directions:Take Highway 24 east through the Caldecott Tunnel. continue to I- 680 split near Walnut Creek, then exit #46b onto Ygnacio Valley Road. Travel east on Ygnacio Valley Road about 8 miles, and turn right onto Clayton Road. Drive south about 1 mile, then turn right onto Mitchell Canyon Road. Continue to the trailhead at the end of the road, about 1.5 miles.
