A Drive Across California's Most Mysterious Mountain Range
A 60-mile drive along State Route 130 offers a stunning introduction to California's little-known Diablo Range. Five times the size of Yosemite National Park, the range has healthy populations of elk, eagles, kit foxes, condors, and mountain lions. It could be vital to the survival of the region's native plants and animals in a warming world—if we can find ways to keep it wild.
