Kick Off the New Year with Two Healthy Hikes

Kick off the new year with back-to-back hikes where you’ll see beautiful vistas, admire birds and other critters, and get fresh air and healthy exercise.

Spend Saturday, Jan. 7, from 9 a.m., to 1 p.m., with naturalist Jim Walsh exploring the hills between Fairfield, Benicia, and Vallejo called the King-Swett Ranches.

Then join Larry Broderick and the Solano Raptor Team on Sunday, Jan. 8 from 10 a.m., to 2 p.m., for a birds of prey hike and bag lunch. Take advantage of these special opportunities if you can because the King-Swett Ranches and Lynch Canyon are otherwise closed. For details and directions, visit www.solanolandtrust.org. Please RSVP to Natalie DuMont, volunteer@solanolandtrust.org or 707-432-0150 x200.
