Black Diamond Mines | "Cave Hill"

March 1 2015
Antioch, CA
Hikers: Cathy, Laura, Noreen, Carol
Distance: 4.09 miles
Elevation Gain: 1,317 ft.


We have always been fascinated by the caves that are atop one of the hills in the park. Today we decided to make the trek to check them out. The trail puts you above the caves - we were not able to reach the caves themselves. There are trails leading to the top of the hill, however, they are not shown on the park map.

Eureka Slope mine shaft.
















Hawk!
