There were 11 of us today; we split into two groups with the more adventuresome hikers making the loop which descends the steep Buckeye Ravine trail to rejoin the Stage Rd. Those of us who stayed in the Canyon went thru the gate and about 1/2 mile into Mt Diablo State Park, so distances were nearly equal, about 4.25 miles.
The canyon group saw plenty of color in the grapes, maples and poison oak. You will have to wait for Pfred's pictures to see what the other group experienced. We met for lunch at the tables just before the state park boundary.

10/2 - Mitchell Canyon
Sorry I missed posting this, but here it is...better late than never I guess.
A lovely fall day saw a dozen of us wandering up Mitchell Canyon hoping the shorter days and brisk nights had colored the masses of wild grape leaves. We were really too early, tho there were patches showing what is to come. BUT, we saw tarantulas...3 of them. When you get to the pictures, the 3rd one is a short video clip; click to play. Two miles each way.
