Concord backs up against Mount Diablo, but its reliable waterfalls live across the bay. Cataract Falls comes down Mount Tam in a chain of drops, steep walking for 2.6 miles, best in the middle of winter, dogs allowed. Dawn Falls above Larkspur stays gentler at just under three miles. Green Valley Falls near Fairfield is the easy day, a flat mile and a half to a pool that takes swimmers and dogs alike. Huntington Falls adds a stroll through Golden Gate Park. Fourteen falls make the circle.
