Let's Talk Turkey

Let's learn more about this comical, yet stately bird and why Benjamin Franklin thought it was a better candidate for our national symbol.

Then we'll go for a walk to search for signs of them, we may even see (or hear) a few along the way.

Adult participation required

From Fremont, drive north on I-680 and exit at Calaveras Road (near the town of Sunol.) Turn right at the exit onto Calaveras Road and proceed about four miles to a left turn onto Geary Road, which leads directly into the park. (If you find yourself driving uphill on a narrow winding road you’ve missed the Geary Road turnoff.)

To reach the visitor center take the first left after the park entrance.

From the Oakland-Berkeley area, drive east on I-580 to the junction with I-680. Take I-680 south and exit at Calaveras Road/Highway 84 just south of the Sunol exit. At the bottom of the exit, turn left onto Calaveras Road and proceed as noted above.
