BLM Winter Bucket List #14: Cache Creek Natural Area, California, for Eagle Hikes
On Saturdays in January through mid-February, you can join the BLM California and other outdoors enthusiasts for guided eagle hikes in the Cache Creek Natural Area. Spend four or five hours hiking across the secluded, hilly expanse of oak woodlands and grasslands - a combination of over 70,000 acres of BLM managed lands and 4,700 acres of state and county lands.
Eagles often soar over the Cache Creek or perch in streamside trees, and visitors often spot other wildlife, including tule elk, golden eagles, osprey, herons, red-tailed hawks and egrets.
The Cache Creek Natural Area is managed to improve habitat for wildlife and rare plants, to protect cultural resource values, and to offer primitive recreation opportunities, including wildlife viewing, river running, hiking, equestrian use and fishing. In 2006, approximately 27,245 acres within the Cache Creek Natural Area were designated as the Cache Creek Wilderness Area.
