Sutter Buttes - Peace Valley Hike
Saturday, March 21
8am-3pm

On Saturday, March 21, the Sacramento River Preservation Trust and Altacal
Audubon Society, in cooperation with California State Parks, is offering a
guided hike into the Sutter Buttes - Peace Valley area with Parks Ranger
Zack Chambers.
Peace Valley is one of California's newest state parks and is nestled within
the ever-fascinating Sutter Buttes. While hiking with Ranger Chambers, we
will learn about the valley's cultural history including a visit to an old
homestead and various Native American sites. As we continue to traverse this
nearly undisturbed area we will be exposed to examples of some of the
geological processes that make up this unique formation. This hike is mostly
off-trail, is of moderate difficulty and does include some short strenuous
climbs. Depending on the weather, very shallow water crossings might occur.
Sturdy walking shoes or boots are strongly recommended. The hike is roughly
3 miles round trip. Participants must be in good hiking shape. Advance
reservations are required, with a requested donation of $20 for
Trust/Audubon members and $30 for non-members.
Space is limited. For reservations and questions please contact the
Sacramento River Preservation Trust at (530) 345.1865 or email Liz at
liz@sacrivertrust.org. Additional information concerning the Trust and
Altacal can be found at www.sacrivertrust.org and
