Rock City at Mt. Diablo State Park

Donna, Kayla, Mata, Ea, and I met up at Mt. Diablo for a hike. Donna and the kids got there very early and drove into the park and stopped to wait for me at Rock City. This is a perfect place for the kids. They love climbing the sandstone formations and scrambling up into the little caves. The loop hike around Rock City is very doable and the CCC trail to Sentinel Rock is quite exciting. I paid extra for the trail map and it was well worth it.

This kids really enjoyed climbing all of the rocks, although Ea was the only one brave enough to climb all the way to the tip top of Sentinel Rock. Next time, we'll need to take some geologic information to bore the kids silly.

Here's a phone pic of the kids in one of the little caves. You can see how appealing this is! Fortunately, there were no broken bones or other mishaps to mar the day. In fact, no one even tripped, slipped, or so much at skinned a knee!
