My
preferred
method
of
travel
to
Mt.
Diablo
Summit
is
hiking,
but
when
I'm
introducing
others
to
this
iconic
Bay
Area
peak
I
usually
drive.
At
3849
feet,
Diablo
is
our
highest
mountain,
so
having
a
road
to
the
top
provides
access
to
everyone!
Summit
Museum
will
introduce
visitors
to
the
significance
of
Mt.
Diablo
to
the
people
who
have
lived
on
and
near
her
over
time.
Flora
and
fauna
of
the
mountain
are
represented
and
explained,
and
kids
love
the
wildlife
exhibits.
On
the
upper
level
of
the
museum,
the
actual
summit
is
exposed
so
you
can
get
a
peak
photo.
A
raised
relief
map
of
Diablo
with
light-up
way
points
highlights
notable
terrain.
Let
it
inspire
you
to
take
a
hike!
On
a
clear
day,
from
the
summit
observation
deck,
you'll
be
able
to
see
the
Sierra
Nevada!
Just
below
the
summit
is
the
Mary
Bowerman
Trail.
At
only
0.8
miles
it
circumnavigates
the
summit,
giving
you
360°
views
of
the
entire
Bay
Area.
Along
this
path
is
an
observation
deck
with
telescopes
to
bring
the
view
closer.
Challenge
your
kids
to
find
their
house!
Bay
Area
residents
and
visitors
to
the
Bay
should
make
Mt.
Diablo
Summit
Museum
a
must-see
on
their
bucket
lists.
