| Sun Rock Trail is easy and only .5 miles |
Date: March 30, 2015 (Monday)
Time: 10:00 am
Place: Sun Valley Regional Park (free)
Meet: Parking area at the end, near covered picnic pavilions
Amenities: bathrooms, picnic tables, lots of bench seats and various view spots and boulder stacks, easy trails near parking lot
What you can paint: This is a great place to practice rocks! There are interesting rock formations everywhere - even one right in front of your car. Also trees, hills and views. If there are clouds this day - it is high up and should have great views of clouds.
What to bring:
- art gear
- camera
- cell phone (service is great)
- art umbrella
- appropriate clothing (check forecast)
- bag to put rocks in to weigh your tripod down in case of wind
- good walking shoes
- food and drink
Directions:
From the spagetti bowl (I-80 and 395):
- Go north on 395
- Take the 2nd exit - Clearacre Lane (exit 70B)
- Go north-east on Clearacre Lane
- It changes name to NV 443 and also to Sun Valley Blvd which is now heading north
- Turn Left on 7th Avenue
- First Right turn onto Sidehill
- Go to the end. Bennett Elementary School is on the right, and the entrance to the park is on the left
- Note: you will pass through a run-down area, but the ranger tells me the park is very safe. The people I saw there had nice cars and trucks and I felt completely safe
