All of the area can be seen easily from the Vista of Mt. Diablo its region you have such cities as Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hil, and Concord.
 
Who is CalRTA?
Our state association, CAlRTA, was organized in 1929 in Pasedena.  It  has grown to about 50,000 members and has  91 divisions  blanketing the state.  With an active grass- roots program at the division level and  an excellent  Legislative  Advocate  ( David Walrath )  working at  the federal and state level,  it  has become the dominant author- itative force protecting and enhancing our retirement benefits.
