Black Diamond Mines again, February 3, 2024



Contra Costa Plein Air Paint-Out
Saturday, February 3, 10am - 2 pm
Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve
5175 Somersville Rd., Antioch, CA 94509


On Saturday, February 3rd we'll be going back to Black Diamond Mines for a joint paint-out with the Jade Fon group. There's a chance of rain, though, so you'll want to check on conditions that morning before driving to Antioch.

We'll be painting at the lower level of the park where you'll find views of the hills and valley as well as a picturesque old ranch. Park in the first parking lot on the left after you drive through the entry gate, then fan out to find your spot. One favorite area is the trail that runs along next to the old ranch and has great views up the valley. This trail starts at a hikers' gate marked "Lougher Loop Trail" across the street from the parking lot. It's a nice level, dirt trail (fire road). You can also find some good views right in the area of the parking lot.

Admission is $5 per vehicle at the entry gate unless there's a sign saying "No Fee Today." The restroom is open, rain cancels. I hope to see you there!
