9:30 AM SOLANO LAND TRUST — Lynch Canyon Spend this summer morning hiking the beautiful hills at Lynch Canyon. Enjoy the trees, the birds, and the views of the bay. Use all your senses to appreciate this local treasure. All ages are welcome but they must be prepared for a moderate pace covering up to 4 - 6 miles with occasional stops. The route includes rugged, steep, and possibly slippery hills that are full of sticky seeds and thorny plants. Some travel may be off-trail. The ridges can be windy. This is a working ranch where free-range cattle roam as they please. There is no drinking water. There is one bathroom, located in the parking lot. In order to protect wildlife, cattle, and rare plants—and for your pet's safety—dogs are not allowed. Maintain a safe distance from cattle and wildlife, and be aware that this is tick, mountain lion, and potentially rattlesnake country. Bring $5 cash for parking, a backpack with plenty of water and snacks. Wear boots or sturdy closed-toe shoes that grip well, long, sturdy pants and layered clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, and protection from the elements (sun, wind, fog, rain) – a brimmed hat is recommended for sunny days. Also recommended: Hiking sticks, bug repellent, binoculars, and/or camera. Meet your guide in the Lynch Canyon parking lot at 9am. Heavy rain or red flag fire warning cancels hike. Moderate rain, strong wind, or high temperatures may shorten hike. RSVP (appreciated, not required) to Jim Hanser at 707-372-6090 or by email.
