Halloween Hike on Devil Mountain
About
Join California State Parks and Greenbelt Alliance interpreters for a spirited pre-Halloween walk in Mount Diablo State Park! On this family-friendly walk, we'll stroll up Mitchell Canyon in search of witches' broom, devil's horns, ghost pines, and other scary and not-so-scary signs of the season. But first, we'll meet the famous 8-legged diva, Scarlett O'Harry (a tarantula) and her sidekick, Wishbone (also a tarantula), examine the skins and skulls of some of our native Bay Area fauna, and hear the tale of Bully Ingram, a pirate who jumped ship and took up residence in a cave near Mitchell Canyon! Reservations Required. To reserve a place email mtdiablohiker@gmail.com This is an easy hike of about 2-miles round trip with a hundred feet in elevation gain.
