We return to the Overlook Staging Area in the Briones Reservoir. Click here for a map. This staging area has a bathroom but no water, so bring your own. The sign for the parking lot where we will meet is located to your left, farther inside, if you are coming from San Pablo Dam Road. The Briones Reservoir watershed is not open to the public. You can get fined without a permit. Vicki, the leader for this trip, will bring an EBMUD permit that covers a small group. Thanks Vicki!

Just after the electrical towers, watch your left for the small brown sign on your left that marks the staging area parking lot.
