Black Diamond Mine Preserve - December 8, 2012
Our December hike will take us to the East Bay area where we will hike Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve. This 6.0 mile hike with a 1700' + gradual elevation gain affords spectacular views of Oakland and Berkeley hills and parts of Antioch and Oakley. Off to the right we will see the Sacramento River and Suisin Marsh. We will pass by the Rose Hill Cemetery as well as the Somersville Townsite, remnants of a bustling community in the 1800s. Lunch is planned at The Point Waterfront Restaurant, 120 Marina Dr., Rio Vista.
