The following are photographs of day trips to Half Moon Bay, Pescadero, and finally, Mt. Diablo State Park. I use the name Slow Coast unofficially, as it is the name of an organization that supports local artists and farmers living "north of Santa Cruz and south of Half Moon Bay." It is a rare, wild, and undeveloped stretch of California coast where most people live off the land, and it is a truly beautiful place to visit. On the other side of the bay, Mt. Diablo State Park is a dry and rugged landscape despite the paved road that reaches the top of the mountain. The best way to appreciate the park is to hike one of the many trails surrounding the summit, where you can even see a glimpse of the sparkling bay to the west. Part of the mountain is visibly charred from a fire in September 2013, and will help you to admire the wild oaks growing on the slopes in this dry winter.
