Saturday Walk – Pinnacles National Park

Please register for the trip here so we know how many to expect.

Sep 14 @ 7:00 am – 5:00 pm

California Condor

Join Robert Snow for a trip to Pinnacles National Park; there’s good chance you will see California Condors. We will meet in the parking lot at the Target located in the Marketplace at El Paseo (Herndon and Golden State Blvd.) at 7:00 am and carpool to the park. The trip will take 2.5 hours of drive time, so we will stop along the way to bird and stretch our legs. Please note that this is a national park, and thus a fee is charged. Bring your National Park Pass, if you have one. This will be a long day trip, returning around 5 pm, so plan accordingly.

Checklist: binoculars, scope, field guide, snacks, lunch, water, sunscreen, hat, radios
