Been to Pacheco Park twice and both times have been tremendous. We've seen bald eagles, with talons locked, helicoptering down hundreds of feet in the air (a mating manuever I'm told). We've seen tule elk with massive racks and listened to their bugle calls echoing through the hills. Today a pack of coyotes echoed back! That was amazing and fun. We've seen enormous wild pigs there..looked like they weighed as much as a cow. One thing we've never seen- another human being. This is a special place. Don't be put off by the cow intense entrance. Hike a couple miles and it gets good.

i pulled the bike out of my truck and hit the trail i immediately saw a mtn lion on the trail, that was very cool. after peddling to dinosaur pond i was lucky enough to see a herd of elk, as well as a coyote. the coyotes are plentiful as are deer, i ride at least 4 times a week and never saw the elk or a mtn. lion until today.( 8-27-03)

It was very hot for most of the week, but the last two days there was cloud cover that made the temperature very tolerable. Look for the wildlife including: rattlesnakes, wild burros, scorpians, lizards, and quail!
