Flight of the Dragonflies

SUNOL – Did you know dragonflies are among the oldest insects on Earth? Join us at Sunol for a fascinating exploration of the dragonflies and damselflies that call this place home. We'll head out on a discovery walk to spot these incredible creatures in the wild and learn how we can help protect their habitat. The trails are narrow and uneven— strollers are not recommended. Consider a trail-friendly alternative for young children Distance of Nature Exploration: .5 - 2 miles Elevation Change - Nature Exploration: 0 - 500 ft Type of Trail - Nature Exploration: Dirt - Natural stone / Generally Flat From Fremont, drive north on I-680 and exit at Calaveras Road (near the town of Sunol.) Turn right at the exit onto Calaveras Road and proceed about four miles to a left turn onto Geary Road, which leads directly into the park. (If you find yourself driving uphill on a narrow winding road, you’ve missed the Geary Road turnoff.) To reach the visitor center, take the first left after the park entrance. From the Oakland-Berkeley area, drive east on I-580 to the junction with I-680. Take I-680 south and exit at Calaveras Road/Highway 84 just south of the Sunol exit. At the bottom of the exit, turn left onto Calaveras Road and proceed as noted above.
