September 13 - Join us for a twin peaks tour! This will be a two-mountain tour of some twisty, two-lane roads from Mt. Hamilton to Mt. Diablo and back.
We'll start at the Starbucks at the junction of Capital Expressway and Tully Road in San Jose, make our way up and over Mt. Hamilton, through the Livermore valley, across the eastern slopes of Mt. Diablo and stop for lunch in quaint Clayton. From there we'll follow a winding route back to San Jose.
Driver's meeting is at 8:45 am, departure time from the parking lot is 9:00 am, so make sure to arrive half an hour to forty five minutes early so you can sign the waiver, get caffeinated, and attend the driver's meeting alert and perky.
This drive is a bit more than 200 miles in length. Since we'll be stopping in a number of the parks along the way, plan on a full day of adventure. There will be opportunities to cut the route short, if you are pressed for time.
Note that we won't be stopping for lunch until nearly 2 pm, so it would be a good plan to pack some snacks. Please arrive on time and with the directions and route map printed out. They are posted to the right of this page under "Additional Documents." If you are late, it is possible to catch up with the group---refer to the estimated clock times at each stopping point -- but it can still be amazingly difficult to find a group of cars once they're in motion.
