Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge

2 Marshlands Road, Fremont

November 2021

thanks Attila and Dixie

11/7.  Don Edwards Refuge- back by popular choice- so many great views  to paint.  From largest parking lot, second lot on left,  tote gear  up to the overlook in front of the administration building.

11/14. Coyote Hills Regional  Park.  Patterson  Ranch Road . Paint near the visitor center

11/21 Niles Canyon Staging Area parking lot.  Fremont 94536.  Paint along the Alameda Creek Trail.

Niles Staging Area at Alameda Creek Trail -

From North: take 880 Fwy South, take the Mowry exit toward East then follow it to Mission Blvd. Then left turn onto Mission and after the bridge right turn onto Niles Canyon Rd 84 (towards Sunil). Shortly after the intersection turn right onto Old Canyon Rd, go around 300 feet and turns left into the Parking lot at the staging area.

The best way is to Google Niles Staging Area at Alameda Creek Trail and it will show a map with directions.

11/28 Ferry Point. Richmond  Ferry Point Loop Trail  off Brickman Cove Road.  This is a rain out redux , close enough to get out for a quick paint after Thanksgiving.
