Biking on Diablo Around the San Francisco Bay area, Mount Diablo is one of those peaks you keep seeing out of the corner of your eye, taunting you to come closer and take it on. The drive to the top is an adventure in itself. Better yet do some climbing on Diablo with a bike.

There are many trails on Mount Diablo, some for riding, some for hiking only. Stay oriented with this GPS map of the area.
