Diablo view across the street from

Northgate High School, 425 Castle Rock Rd., Walnut Creek CA 94598

Let's ring in the new year with a paint-out at one of our favorite locations, the Diablo view across the street from Northgate High School in Walnut Creek! A sunny day is predicted (a break between storms) and this is a good chance to avoid the usual high school traffic.

Park in the wide shoulder area across the street from the high school, then walk out onto the trail to find your spot. The gravel edge of the trail is an active bridle path so let’s not block it with our set-ups. It’s also a popular walking path for humans. The trail is pretty wide, though, so there’s enough room for all of us.

Please note -- there are no restrooms at this location, so plan ahead. There are shopping centers within a short drive. Admission is free. Rain cancels, but if it's just cloudy we'll go ahead and paint. I hope to see you there!
