Description

Early Morning Walk
Lafferty Ranch, Petaluma
Saturday July 6; 8am to 11am

Led by Docents Mike Noel & Matt Maguire

(Driving and parking directions will be sent out after you register)

A group of people walk up a dirt path towards a tree-covered hill.

Join us for a morning walk through Lafferty Park! View Petaluma Valley from the east and above from two different vista points. We will hike through oak woodlands and open grasslands. Bring your own snack for a brief rest with a beautiful valley vista. We hope to witness some early birds and any remaining wild flowers along the way. Scheduled early to beat the heat. The hike will follow a figure eight route to the upper lookout and back; approximately 2.5 miles round trip and 500 ft elevation gain.
