About this Event

An easy walk along Wildcat Creek and around Jewel Lake in Tilden Park. We'll try this trip a little later in the season than in past years, when we should have a better chance for Varied Thrush, Golden Kinglet and wintering birds.

This trip is suitable for beginners. Bring binoculars if you have them, or if you need to borrow a pair contact the leader beforehand so he knows to bring them.

Hike Rating: 1, Easy. 1 mile (or a bit more) easy walking on flat paved and gravel trails.

Elevation change: N/A

Leader: Matt Tarlach, 925-482-6129

Meet: Parking lot at the end of Central Park Drive in Tilden Regional Park.

GPS: 37.90845590409606, -122.26411344372674

Directions: Take Highway 24 to exit at Fish Ranch Road.

Turn right and go up the hill 0.7mi. Turn Right on Grizzly Peak Blvd. Follow Grizzly Peak for 4.1mi.

Turn Right on Muir Way, then Left on Park Hills Road. Shortly after this turn, the road forks. Bear right at the fork to stay on Park Hills Road.

Watch for signs to "Little Farm" which is near the meeting point.

Park Hills Road ends at Wildcat Canyon Road, with an odd intersection to the right. Turn Right on Wildcat Canyon, then IMMEDIATELY Left onto Central Park Drive.
