Ages 13 plus years of age. Adult participation and registration required. Follow narrow dirt trail along Alameda Creek to find a spot to stay, observe and journal together. Materials participants need to bring to the program: journal supplies, folding chair or blanket, drinking water, dress in layers, wear sun protection. Supplies provided if needed: mini field watercolor kit, water brush, paper, pencil. 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.
