Nature Hike at King-Swett Ranches


October 6 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
Recurring Event (See all) Free

Come explore the hills between Fairfield, Benicia, and Vallejo. Solano Land Trust docents will guide you through this area, known as the King-Swett Ranches. They’ll share insights about the birds and other wildlife that call this area home, and give you a great workout! Take advantage of this special opportunity if you can because the King-Swett Ranches are otherwise closed.

You will meet the docent at the Park and Ride and then carpool to the trailhead from there.
