group
Trailhead parking.  Jim, Denny, Chris, Anna, Chris (shuttle driver), Darlynne, and hike leader Mike (only a shadow of himself)



At the real trailhead



On the trail (poles are a must)



Some parts are steep



A rest break



Which is tilted - the photographer or the land?



The summit is attained



Observation deck - I once read that from the top of Diablo you can see more square miles than from any other mountain top



At the top, the group was greeted by some strange fauna
