Join LandPaths Docent Mike Noël and Michael Colacchio for a beautiful hike at Lafferty Ranch. We will venture to several vista points on southwestern Sonoma Mountain and weather permitting we may see the Petaluma River flowing into San Pablo Bay, Mount Tamalpais and even the city of San Francisco.
We will look at some wildlife photos captured on the our trail cameras, with emphasis on sightings of mountain lions and their hidden sojourns on Sonoma mountain and up Sonoma Valley.
This 270-acre property is the only publicly-owned land on the west side of Sonoma Mountain. Under contract with the City of Petaluma, LandPaths has been leading hikes on the land to introduce groups to its history and natural features since the summer of 2022. The hiking terrain ranges from broad, gentle meadows to steep challenging hillsides with a narrow path. The hike will be 2 1/2 miles with 500 feet of elevation.
