Nortonville Road in Pittsburg
for GPS use 5780 Nortonville Rd., Pittsburg CA 94565
Nortonville Road is looking beautiful right now! The almond trees are blooming and the hills are green. Let's paint there this Thursday, February 19, 10 am to 2 pm.
Enter Nortonville Road from Kirker Pass Road on the outskirts of Pittsburg. You can use 5780 Nortonville Rd. in your GPS to help you find the location (that address is a private residence, not our actual spot, so please don't disturb the residents.)
Park and set up your easel along the gravel shoulder of the road. The big, scenic barn is near the beginning of the road, or drive to the end of the road for views of almonds, oaks and the little green farmhouse. At the very end of the road there's a wide-open view of the valley and ranch country beyond. This area is fenced and gated (no trespassing), but you can set up next to the fence for some great 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.
Please note, there are no restrooms at this location. Rain cancels. I hope to see you there!
