Tuttletown loop trail
This trip is best taken in winter or early spring, when the grass is green and the temperatures are moderate. Watch out for mountain bikers, as they are allowed to use this route, although it is lightly traveled. Overall, it's a very pleasant walk with great views of New Melones Reservoir.Start at the Lupine Day use area and walk past the bathrooms and you will hit the trail. It's basically one big loop that is mostly on the Heron Point Trail.I'll try to post some pictures after my next trip out there.
