Thunder Knob — Monday, Jan. 1, 2024

We got off to a later start than we wanted but there were only 2 vehicles at the trailhead when we arrived at 11:15. The trail itself was in great shape and snow free! We had a beautiful bluebird day to start off the new year. As others have stated, the trail is washed out at the start and a stream crossing is required. My wife and I crossed it with our 2.5 year old in a pack and a 4.5 year old stone-stepping to get across. Trekking poles were definitely helpful in the stream crossing. Overall a great day on trail!

Capped off the hike with an awesome post-hike polar plunge in Diablo!
