The park in Contra Costa County reopened at about 9:30 a.m. today after closing Friday around 11 a.m. after winds reached speeds of 110 mph, said Carl Nielson, a Mount Diablo State Park ranger.
Drivers and bicyclists can take Summit Road today up to Juniper Campground, which is located at about 3,000 feet and about 2 miles below the summit, he said. From there only pedestrians are allowed to hike to the top of the mountain.
The park, which normally opens on Sundays at 8 a.m., closes at sunset, Nielson said. Visitors are advised to dress warm due to frigid, slushy conditions, he said.
