We will walk into Mitchell Canyon on the lower slopes of Mount Diablo State Park. Many spring birds are possible here: warblers, hummingbirds, flycatchers, gnatcatchers and more. Spring flowers will be blooming.

Bring a lunch too, if you’d like to sit down and eat with the group at the end of the trip.

Trail Rating: Category 3. 3+ miles on a potentially hot, dusty trail. It is an out-and-back so anyone who gets too hot or tired can head back early.
