is a small town nestled in the foothills of Mount Diablo in Contra Costa County, approximately 30 miles east of San Francisco. In 1998, Clayton received the distinction of being one of the five "most walkable small cities in America" by Walking Magazine. The town is approximately 4.2 square miles in size and is known for its mild climate and sweeping mountain views. More than 400 acres of open space is found in Clayton and other recreational activities besides walking and hiking include swimming, horseback riding, tennis and golf. In addition, Clayton is adjacent to Mount Diablo State Park, where you'll find 17 miles of walking and hiking trails. This trail system connects to the East Bay Regional Park District's Black Diamond, Bruce Lee and Black Canyon Trails. It is also part of the statewide Coast-to-Coast Trail, which connects to the American Discovery Trail that goes from Point Reyes on the Pacific Coast all the way to Delaware Bay on the Atlantic Coast. The town of Clayton has a charming, historic downtown district with an award winning City Hall housed in the renovated DeMartini Winery.

Clayton Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Mark Twain once said, "the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco." While this might be a slight exaggeration, the climate in the San Francisco Bay Area is mild year round with cool evenings - even in the summertime. Cool breezes from the Pacific Ocean help moderate the summer heat and marine influences keep winters very mild. The San Francisco Bay Area is known for its fog, especially in the summertime. This occurs when warm air masses flow across a cooler ocean and the moisture in the air condenses and forms fog. The rainy season in northern California runs November through March, with no measurable precipitation in the summertime. Spring and fall are generally the sunniest, and warmest, seasons in the Bay area.
