Nortonville Road in Pittsburg

For GPS: 5780 Nortonville Rd Pittsburg CA 94565

Let's go back to good old Nortonville Road! Although the almond trees are past their bloom there's still plenty of fresh spring beauty with grassy green hills and wildflowers.

Enter Nortonville Road from Kirker Pass Road on the outskirts of Pittsburg. You can use 5780 Nortonville Rd., Pittsburg CA 94565 in your GPS to help you find the street (that address is one of the private residences, not our actual spot.)

Park and set up your easel along the gravel shoulder of the road. There's a big, scenic barn near the beginning of the road, or keep driving to spot more vintage ranch buildings, cows, horses, and panoramic valley views.

Heads up -- when you leave, turning left onto Kirker Pass can be scary (high speed traffic). If you need to head in the Concord direction it's easier to turn right and then find a safe way to circle back.

There are no restrooms in the area so plan ahead. Rain cancels. I hope to see you there!
