Chamber Events Community Events Visitor & Community Events
Description:
Lace up your hiking boots and join this rare opportunity to gain access to an area normally not open to the public! Explore the secluded depths of the interior of the Sutter Buttes, the smallest mountain range in the world, as we visit the 100-year-old Dean's Place Cattle Ranch. The focus on this three-mile walk will be on the birds of the Buttes and we'll hopefully see such gems as Golden Eagle, Phainopepla, Rufous-crowned Sparrow, Mountain Bluebird, Varied Thrush, lots of winter sparrows, and with luck, geese and swans flying high over the Buttes. Prepare for some moderate climbing and mostly uneven ground. No early departures on this trip. Difficulty level is 3 (lots of driving and walking) Be sure to bring a sack lunch (either your own or ordered at Swan Central), water, camera, binoculars, trekking poles.
Meet at Swan Central and carpool to the Sutter Buttes. Duration of this tour is 6.5 hours and driving is 15 miles each way.
