You’ve seen the lines already. With shelter-in-place mandates starting to ease and restaurants slowly reopening at the same time that summer has hit, be prepared to wait for a table. Everybody wants that coveted two-top to social distance outdoors while being served their favorite meal and drink.
Usually when someone tells you to “take it outside,” it’s not a good thing. But right now, the sudden uptick in restaurants taking their seating outside has been a sight for sore eyes.
Editor's note: Due to COVID-19, please note that some trails, restaurants, and theaters are closed or have limited operating hours.
Tucked between the East Bay hills and Mount Diablo are two cities that have created vibrant, walkable downtowns and kept their family-friendly, rustic charm. But don’t take our word for it.
At 3,849 feet, Mount Diablo is the tallest mountain in the East Bay. The summit is high enough to receive snow in the winter months, and on a very clear day you can see almost 200 miles, including the Sierra Nevadas.
On the way to the top, you’ll encounter several different habitats including beautiful rolling hills, rocks, oak trees, chaparral, sagebrush, and grasses, not to mention incredible views.
