Really? How old are you? It typically greens up in winter and spring before turning brown in early summer.

South of Diablo. Diablo is in Contra Costa County, Mission Peak in southern Alameda County.

Ahhh Bay Area, you never fail to disappoint. I'm surprised the thieves could get out of bed and get out into the cold.

Snow on Diablo isn't that rare. It usually happens every 3-5 years.

yeah also a bunch of thieves too apparently. I heard several cars were broken into.

Rare green on Mt. Diablo, too! All of my childhood memories of that mountain are of brown scrub.

Great shot, I enjoyed it from a distance and the comfort of a warm car.

We also had snow on Mission peak in Fremont Ca. This mountain peak is northSouth of Diablo. I can see it out my front window.

Edit: fixed direction of peak.

>Didn't you guys get snow, too? That was insane

*Is insane.

I'm currently chatting to my buddy via text near Lake Arrowhead. They're under 8 feet of snow, the local grocery store just collapsed (not that anyone can get to it right now).

Was saying I hope they've stocked up, but he's a hunter and keeps sheep, his response was that they have enough meat for the neighbourhood for a week, longer if they're willing to let some sheep go early!

Are those deer or some form of alpacas? Bottom of the pic. Nice shot by the way.

China wall, great contemplatin' spot. I ate mushrooms here once. When it's wet back there the clay clods up on the bottom of your shoes til they get so heavy they fling right off your feet lmao.

I would love to see this with all the snow on the hills.

Didn't you guys get snow, too? That was insane

Thank you! As long as I’ve lived here you’d think I’d know that staging area lol. Always appreciate having more places to hike!

I know that exact spot in Mercedo Ranch, the pond, the rocks, all very familiar. Used to play hooky back there.

This 100% is Mercedo Ranch

All this means is come July, there'll be a lot more grass to burn. The hills are really nice this time of year though.

Love seeing pictures from my neck of the woods on here. Diablo has been stunning for several days now! Where was the pic taken from?

I think several skiers were up there, a friend of mine got some turns in and I heard about a few others. Apparently drifts were up to thigh deep.

Love this. Nice color pallete
