Four Days Diablo

Our annual “gently roughing it” camping trip is a rare opportunity to experience seldom-seen views of Mount Diablo landscapes.

Participants follow the 31-mile Diablo Trail over four days, guided by experts who know the land intimately. Staff haul gear and set up camp for you, and talented local chefs cook delectable dishes.

Mount Diablo Challenge

The Valley Spokesmen Bicycling Club now hosts the Mount Diablo Challenge. This 11.2-mile, timed bike race climbs 3,249 feet to the summit of Mount Diablo up South Gate Road. Save Mount Diablo is a beneficiary.

The race is open to competitive and recreational cyclists and teams. This is a once-a-year opportunity to enjoy riding the mountain without cars.
