Hidden East Bay Waterfalls

Gorgeous local flows abound, all around the Bay Area, and many nearby reservoirs protect precious drinking water ~ which we can visit over a few hours, traveling across our home neighborhoods, to find hidden histories of how water changes land and culture across aeons, with gratitude for our Bay Area ecosystems still supporting biodiversity, and fresh waters where we live.

A chance to dip in the Mokelumne River, below Pioneer Road bridge about 45 mins from headwaters camp.
