Alviso Marina County Park to SFO Wildlife Refuge

Start at 1:30pm

Meeting Place: Parking Lot of Alviso Marina County Park

Due to the concern of the high risk of mountain fire, we will repeat our route in last September. It is a leisure walk without any climbing at the seashore.  Our route starts from the Alviso Marina County Park and walk to the San Francisco Wildlife Refuge at Santa Clara.  Two options are available.  You can join our walk from the parking lot to the ghost down of Drawbridge, then return to the parking lot for a 4-mile walk.  Or, you can continue to walk around the salt pond to watch the migratory birds for a complete 7-mile walk.

You can get more information about our route from the link below.
