These streams and falls are part of the Falls Loop hike featured in the new MDIA book, Hiker's Guide to Mount Diablo State Park.

Vasco Caves Regional Preserve
I visited Vasco Caves five years ago. The only way to visit the park is by signing up for a guided tour. East Bay Regional Parks protects the park from those who might not treat the area with the respect and care it deserves. The area has an ancient history, dating back thousands of years. It's interesting to imagine what it must have been like to stumble upon this place 10,000 years ago.
