Quiet reflection is the emphasis of this stroll. As the late afternoon shadows lengthen, we gather to begin our walk. We will meander through sun dappled oak groves, meadows of baby blue eyes and pause often to look out over the pastoral hillsides. After a sack dinner overlooking beautiful Peace Valley, we have a chance to hear the hooting of owls and possibly the soft snorting of wild pigs. There will be time for star gazing and silent contemplation.
Space is limited.
Pacing ourselves with frequent stops to collect the group, we examine the natural elements of the buttes during our ridge top treks. We stop, look, listen, and learn. These are educational outing in which we develop an appreciation for nature's intricate web. A view from the ridge tops really puts into perspective the need to preserve wild places like the sutter buttes. The trek involves some steep uphill, but anyone who is in good health and exercises regularly can handle this outing.
