04/06 - Donner and Back Canyons, Mt Diablo SP



Only 9 of us were brave enough to venture out on what was forecast to be a stinky hot day. We were rewarded with lots of green, water in the creeks and flowers! We hiked out Donner Canyon Rd to the Donner Cabin site, then took the Hetherrington Tr along the creek and rejoining Donner Canyon Rd. We turned downhill as far as Tick Wood Tr which we took around the point to meet the Back Creek Tr. Lunch was in a shady spot along the creek. These trails have lots of shade and there was a nice breeze now and then, so we really didn't find it overly warm. The cars were hot on our return, tho. We parked on Mountaire Pkwy this time as Regency has been so crowded on past visits. Of course this time it wasn't. Distance about 3.3 miles.
