It’s the 13th in a series of hour-long guides to Diablo area parks, each made up of ten to fifteen 3-5 minute segments.

Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve traverses areas of grassland, foothill woodland, chaparral, and more. In the latest guide, viewers will enjoy learning about one of the East Bay’s most storied and beautiful parks while taking in some of Scott Hein’s amazing nature photography (featuring great views of our favorite mountain)!
