The View From the Top
Many visitors to Mount Diablo head straight for the summit to enjoy the
famous view. Summer days are sometimes hazy, and the best viewing is often
on the day after a winter storm. Then, you can look to the west, beyond
the Golden Gate Bridge, to the Farallon Islands; south-east to the James
Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton at 4,213 feet elevation; south to Mount
Loma Prieta in the Santa Cruz Mountains at 3,791 feet elevation, north
to Mount Saint Helena in the Coast Range at 4,344 feet elevation, and
still farther north to Mount Lassen in the Cascades at 10,466 feet. North
and east of Mount Diablo the San Joaquin and Sacramento Rivers meet to
form the twisting waterways of the Delta. To the east beyond Califomia's
great central valley, the crest of the Sierra Nevada seems to float in
space.
