Mount Diablo State Park

A bit crowded on the weekends but really unique sandstone monoliths are kind of worth it.

The hike starts by the south entrance to Mt. Diablo State Park and follows the Summit trail past the Live Oak camping area.  From there it's just a short walk to the Rock City area in the park which is marked by a wide variety of rock structures including the so-called 'wind caves'.  These were actually formed through erosion by flowing water creating large hollowed-out areas in the sandstone.  

A prominent feature is Sentinel Rock that stands well above the surroundings and provides a panoramic view from its summit.  There are steps carved into the rock and iron railings at key points for safety when climbing to the top.
Beautiful place to hike this time of year. Lots of green and #mushrooms!
