Description
With the coming of winter rains, Briones Park newts make their way from summer hideouts to ponds and creeks, where they mate and lay eggs. Our route takes us past newt filled lagoons where we will view these amorous amphibians "in action" and learn their fascinating natural history. It may be a bit early for flowers, but we will stop to smell the mushrooms along the trail. This is a moderate hike of 5 miles with several hundred feet in elevation change, lead by Ken Lavin and Debbie KleinWEATHER POLICY:
Rain cancels.
COST:
Free - Reservations required
WHERE TO MEET:
We'll assemble at the trailhead for the Old Briones Trail at the end of Old Briones Road. There is a restroom at the trailhead.
