PASSPORT TO EAST BAY PARKS: COYOTE HILLS Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

XKlondike: Caches seem extremely prone to wander readily from this location so regrettably I must archive it. I have plans to reincarnate the "Passport" somewhere in a more lonely sector of Coyote Hills. Don't touch that dial!

Geocache Description:


PASSPORT TO THE EAST BAY REGIONAL PARKS!


Did you know that the East Bay Regional Parks District is the largest urban park system in the entire country? This geocache is part of the "Passport to the East Bay Parks" series.

There is one special geocache in each of the East Bay Regional Parks properties (except the few that don't allow geocaches.) At the time of this cache placement, the park district encompasses 199,000 acres. Please enjoy all the parks and trails, but also please respect park rules.

Be sure to stamp your passport with the stamp provided in the geocache. Many of the Passport geocaches have blank passport booklets in the container. When you completely fill up your Passport, you can redeem it for a special prize. Of course, there is no cost for participating.

 Coyote Hills Regional Park was dedicated to public use in 1967. Comprised of nearly 978 acres of marshland and rolling grassland covered hills, this busy park is located along the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay, northwest of the cities of Fremont and Newark. The most popular visitor activities by far are bicycling, walking, bird watching, jogging, nature exploration, and picnicking. Well used every season of the year, spring, summer, and fall tend to be the most popular. But the park's winter beauty is wonderful to behold.

 As you wander the hills, you may feel the sinister presence of Venona, the infamous Russian spy who carried out some of his more notorious activities back in the winter of 2012.

 From free parking, the trek is 2+ miles one way. From Day Use Fee parking, it's probably half that. There's always a price for free.
