This area is one of the most secluded, wild and beautiful of Alameda’s parklands, far from towns and highways. It is bisected by Alameda Creek and surrounded by high crags and hillsides covered with pines and oak woodlands. It’s a paradise for birds, with many raptors (including Golden Eagles, kites and Kestrels), Acorn woodpeckers, flycatchers, nuthatches, bluebirds, Yellow-billed Magpies, finches, warblers and wrens. In addition, we’ll keep an eye out for the elusive Lazuli Bunting. (Parking fee)
