A little piece of coolness in Reno: Mayberry Park

 A place that seems out of the City is Mayberry Park. This beautiful escape is minutes from downtown Reno. Washoe County describes Mayberry as:

 “This river park is a beautiful day-use facility with various individual picnic sites, a group picnic area (non-reservable), a paved bike path, hiking trails and Truckee River fishing access. Bird watching, hiking, bike riding, river tubing and picnicking are popular activities. Handicap-accessible, this park is located just four miles west of Reno, at the end of Woodland Avenue.”

 

Getting outside - where was I this week?

 In an effort to become healthier, and to not mope around the house, I started walking at various local parks around Washoe County.  With the help of the WC Parks guide, maps, and my own knowledge, I've found quite a few places where a person by themself can safely stroll. It's not enough to just wander, I like to bird watch and carry my binoculars and a camera with me. I will be posting about specific places in the blog. Today is a trip to the wilderness area off I80 near Patrick.
