Photo: Sunrise over Mt. Diablo and green East Bay hills near Orinda, Contra Costa County, California
File under: Long overdue; I’ve added a few new photo galleries to my web site. One of them is a collection from my home stomping grounds, namely the East Bay Hills. The area covers my old home town of Lafayette, my local hiking haven, Briones Regional Park, as well as the Berkeley Hills and Tilden Park overlooking San Francisco Bay. Also included in this gallery is Mount Diablo & Mount Diablo State Park. Finally, in what could soon be a collection of memory “that’s the way it used to look” photos, I include some pictures of the nearby Tassajara region. Nesteld in the rolling foothills between San Ramon, Dublin, Pleasanton, and Livermore, the area is being evermore encroached upon by suburban high density housing and estate homes.

Fantastic gallery, Gary! It’s a great reminder that I should spend more time in my own backyard. Since moving to the Bay Area a few years ago I’ve fallen in love with the wilderness of Marin, but this is a great reminder to get out there and explore the East Bay too!
Great stuff Gary. My friend and I did a long hike of the Pleasanton Ridge several years ago because we got lost and ended up going up and down numerous ridges trying to find our way back. And my friend grew up there and hiked there regularly! What I remember most was that the pollen just killed me on that day with allergies. But man it is a beautiful area once you get on the trail.
