Mount Diablo Group Campground

Biking up Mt. Tam is most definitely “not lame.” While there are beginner, intermediate and advanced routes , most people go for the 20km route...straight up. Needless to say it is a challenge (an even bigger challenge than Mt. Tam), but you will be spoiled with unparalleled views and a newfound sense of accomplishment...once you reach the top. There’s also a plethora of intermediate and advanced mountain biking trails for you dirt devils!

From Tarantula Treks to a massive observatory deck with stunning views (perhaps the best in Northern California), there is lots to do in this huge state park. Most guests of the park head straight to the summit to take in the gorgeous views. But, we suggest taking your time on the Grand Loop Trail and play in “Rock City,” which will induce child-like wonder.

Whether a casual boulder session or a multi-pitch climb is your thing, Mt. Diablo offers up a good range of climbing options (from 5.6-5.12).

Mt. Diablo will not disappoint nature lovers. Wildlife seekers should visit expecting to seek out amphibians, insect life, bobcats, coyotes, mountain lions and more.
