Come and join EBRPD Naturalist Kevin Dixon at Curry Canyon for an exciting Reptile Ramble in the hills of Mount Diablo. Spring is an excellent time to see the diverse lizard and snake populations of the mountain out and about. Keep your fingers crossed that we see an Alameda Whipsnake!

Be sure to bring plenty of water and a snack, and dress in layers. Sturdy shoes or hiking boots are recommended. Heavy rain cancels.
