Mount Diablo (not a volcano, despite the name and appearance) is in Contra Costa County and is notable for having one of the most extensive views in the world. On a very clear day you can see both the Farallon Islands and the Sierra Nevada. The reasons the view is so good are the lack of other mountains in the area and the fact that the central valley slopes up as it nears the Sierra Nevada, preventing it from disappearing below the horizon. The mountain is within the boundaries of Mount Diablo State Park, which is administered by California State Parks.
