You really don’t need to go much further than the parking lot to appreciate this preserve’s beautiful rolling landscape. It just so happened that everyone else and their dog wanted to visit the Pearson-Arastradero Preserve on this warm sunny day. Parking was a bit of an issue but in the end everyone found parking and a place to settle down and paint. Some of the more adventurous chose to explore the Redtail Loop Trail while others took advantage of the shade near the Ranger Station.

Several of the photos taken at our Paintsites are taken by naturalist, artist and photographer, Edward Rooks. Please check out his Flickr album for more wonderful photos of this paintsite:
