  During springtime it is so beautiful here. The hills are green and it is still cool. Hikes can be a bit challenging for those who are a bit out of shape (like me) but are rewarding. The visitor center is very cool. If you have time, try to make it to Prospect Tunnel to venture 200 feet into an old coal mine tunnel. Lots of wildlife here including coyotes to watch. Can also take your pooch anywhere as long as he is on leash.

  Just about now is the best time to go. The weather is great and the wildflowers are in bloom. Just don't go after any rain, as many of the trails will become a muddy mess, and you'll end up wearing oversized "mud boots" A lot of very interesting history in the area (unbelievably, this used to be the population center of Contra Costa county). if you can, go on the weekend and take a tour of the actual mines themselves. There really were active mines here once upon a time!

  YOU HAVE TO WALK ALL THE WAY UP THE CEMETERY WHICH IS SO PEACEFUL AND YOU CAN SEE THE MOUNTAINS

  Great hiking experience. Brought a 4 year old and an eight year old and they managed just fine. The stop and powder magazine (see map) were must-sees. Kids had a blast. Didn't get a chance to check out the visitor center or cemetery but will hit those when we inevitably come back. Note: Be sure to bring $5 for parking!

  We enjoy hiking around here. The mines are a lot of fun for the kids. There are some great open trails as well. Not much shade on the main trails through the middle of the park, but still a great way to spend your day.
  
  They also have a backpacking site if you’d like to take your young kids on a short backpacking trip.
