Mt Diablo
1 Jan 2001 - by Joan Marshall
We had a hike over the New Year's holiday to Mt.Diablo starting at the
Mitchell Canyon Trail, North Gate Entrance. I was told the gates into the
park would be closed a half hour before sunset, and the exit gate would be
closed right at sunset. Because of the time contraint, I discouraged a lot
of people from going on the hike, if they didn't think they could hike fast
enough. I even called the ranger at the park, and asked if they might cut us
a little slack, if we were a few minutes late, and the answer was a very
terse, emphatic, no. But, upon arriving at the park, to my surprise, I
discovered there was no entrance or exit gate. And, added bonus, no entrance
fee.
