Rocks on the Move

We’ll visit fascinating sites on Mount Diablo and take short hikes to view fossils, wind caves, the Devil’s Pulpit, and other amazing rocks and landforms ranging in age from the Jurassic Period to the Anthropocene (human) epoch.

We’ll also view flora that grows nowhere else in the world, and learn how climate change is impacting the flora and fauna of Mount Diablo and the Bay Area.

From the top of the mountain, we'll get a view of our Greenbelt Alliance Bay Area Resilience Hotspots
