Are you up for a challenge? Join SMD hike leader Kirk on a morning trek to summit Eagle Peak, in Mt. Diablo State Park. After a short ½ mile warm-up, the route will lead up a beautiful single track trail traversing the steep chaparral covered hillside. On clear days the view can stretch from the Farallon Islands to the Sierra Nevada. This trek is challenging, so we recommend experienced hikers only as you’ll quickly gain 1,800 ft. in elevation in just 2 miles of trail. The 6+ mile outing should be done by two, so bring a snack to give you an energy boost on the trail. Bring plenty of water, sun protection, wear boots and a hat. RSVP to Kirk at smdinfo@savemountdiablo.org or call 925-947-3535 for more information. Heavy rain cancels.
Meet at trailhead at the end of Regency Dr in Clayton. From Ygnacio/Kirker Pass head east on Clayton Rd which becomes Marsh Creek Rd, turn right on Regency Drive – just past the Diablo View Middle School, follow to the end.
