Dye Creek Preserve Outing

May 6, 2023 @ 6:30 am - 3:30 pm

Located in the foothills below Mount Lassen, the 37,540-acre Gray Davis Dye Creek Preserve is an expansive landscape of blue oak woodlands, volcanic buttes, and rolling wildflower fields. The landscape is dissected dramatically by Dye Creek Canyon with its vertical cliffs, clear-water creek, and diverse riparian forests. The forest widens as it leaves the canyon mouth and flows westward, through wetlands, to its confluence with the Sacramento River. Join Larry Jordan, trip leader, for a hike up Dye Creek Canyon. Golden Eagles, Peregrine Falcons and Canyon Wrens are a possibility. Wild flowers should be abundant. The three mile trail is rough so be prepared. Bring water, a lunch, and sturdy shoes for this all day outing. Meet at 6:30 sharp at the Kutras Park on Park Marina Drive to caravan, or meet us at the north end of Foothill Road at 7:15. We will bird Foothill Road on the way to the preserve with each vehicle having a walkie-talkie to communicate birds seen. Contact Larry Jordan at 530-949-5266 for more info.
