Join us on the southern side of Mount Diablo to see some of the unique, beautiful flowers, some of which are only found on Mount Diablo itself and nowhere else in the world. We’ll be going from Devil’s Elbow to Prospector Gap.

Be sure to bring plenty of water and a snack, and dress in layers. Sturdy shoes or hiking boots as well as hiking poles are recommended. Heavy rain cancels.

Participants will also be required to accept our COVID-19 Protocol (available during registration).

Anyone under the age of 18 will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
