Yolo Bypass Auto Loop - autoloop
A seasonal floodplain and self-guided driving loop that converts rice fields into wetlands—prime for waterbird flocks, reflections, and wide open skies. Best at sunrise/sunset for warm light and low-angle reflections; winter and spring (post-irrigation/flooding) bring the most birds and dramatic water coverage. Accessible by car with pullover spots along the loop; no fee but be respectful of farming/private property. Bring layers—mornings can be chilly and foggy.
