Round the Mountain Hike:

Mitchell Canyon Visitor Center
96 Mitchell Canyon Rd, Clayton
Sunday, June 7th, 2015
10:30am – 5:00pm | $6 (parking)

This classic loop features views in all directions as the trail circles the park’s namesake peak (elev. 3849’) via Deer Flat, Murchio Gap, Prospector’s Gap and Oak Knoll. Between Prospector’s Gap and Oak Knoll, this eight-mile hike passes through sections that burned in the September 2013 Morgan Fire. Late season wildflowers should be abundant. Steady relaxed pace with lunch break. Wear good hiking shoes; bring liquids and snacks; dress in layers, apply sunscreen and be prepared for poison oak.

Meet: Diablo Valley Overlook at Juniper Campground

Parking: $10 per vehicle
