MDAS Field Trip — Black Diamond Mines
April 13, 2023 @ 8:00 am - 1:00 pm
Black Diamond Mines
Thursday, April 13, 8 AM to 1 PM
Black Diamond Mines is a wonderful, varied habitat but the centerpiece of this trip is a vigorous climb up through Canyon Wren habitat. Other woodland and grassland birds are also likely. Tricky footing through the wren’s rocky habitat, and no guarantees on finding them. Some spring flowers may still be in bloom. Bring liquids and lunch.
Trail Rating: Category 3, hot, difficult uphill trail
Elevation change: 600 feet
Leader: Matt Tarlach, 925 482 6129
Meet: Black Diamond Mines parking lot at top of Somersville Road.
Directions: Exit Hwy 4 at Somersville Road in Antioch. Drive south, enter the park gate and drive uphill to the last parking lot.
This trip is limited to 20 participants. All field trip participants must accept the MDAS liability waiver, available at registration.
