Bring lunch and plenty of water. Carpool whenever possible. There is a possibility of muddy roads and changeable weather. Pets must be controlled at all times. A new self-guided, interpretive trail has been constructed at Wallace Creek and along a portion of the San Andreas fault.
Brochures are available at the trail head.
Signs along with the brochure provide information about the San Andreas and aid visitors in identifying features along this famous fault. Also, if you would like to explore more of the geology of the Carrizo Plain on your own, a booklet containing two self-guided auto tours is available for purchase at the Goodwin Education Center or through the BLM Bakersfield Field Office. As we near the end of May, much of our spring-like weather is also near an end. Weather conditions remain a bit unpredictable but rain is less likely and sunny days more reliable. Most birds that use the Carrizo Plain as their breeding and nesting ground have already built nests and in many cases, the young have fledged.
