Join Newport Bay Conservancy volunteers at the beautiful Upper Newport Bay for a naturalist-led bike ride. Participants will be introduced to the Bay and the work of the Conservancy while enjoying natural scenery and moderate physical exertion on a safe and guided bike ride along the trail. Learn about major points of interest and recreational, educational, and/or stewardship opportunities around the Bay.
This ride is appropriate for moderately experienced riders with their own bike capable of traversing 10 miles in 2 hours over paved bike trails with frequent interpretation breaks. We begin at the parking lot of the Peter and Mary Muth Interpretive Center, head out to the Back Bay Science Center, then return to the Muth Center, with stops at Jamboree Bridge, Big Canyon, and Vista Point along the way.
Distance: 10 miles
Elevation Change: 155 feet
