"gently roughing it" camping trip
along the Diablo Trail
Wednesday - Saturday,
April 29 - May 2, 2009
Picture sparkling streams flowing down canyons below spectacular mountain peaks,
a castle of rocks across the way. As you leave civilization behind you
notice eagles and falcons flying above a western box canyon riddled with
hundreds of caves . . . wildflower meadows and dense woodland views
uninterrupted for many miles. With brilliant sun above and cloud-filled
valleys below, a snow covered range shines in the distance. Crossing just
two small roads in four days, your small group will be in the middle of a vast
wilderness just a half hour from home. This is the thirty mile Diablo
Trail - from Walnut Creek to Brentwood.
Your day pack will seem light as you learn about the natural and human history
that you will encounter on each day of the hike. When you stroll into camp
for the evening, you’re met with cool drinks and, after sunset, a
sumptuous dinner catered by premiere East Bay restaurants. After dinner,
local experts will tell stories about your journey–the spectacular scenery, the
natural and cultural history.
Be among the few to experience this unique trip. Maximum of 20
participants, $850 per person, proceeds benefiting the programs of Save Mount
Diablo. Please call 925-947-3535 to reserve your space. Deposit
$250, first come, first served.
