Join volunteer docents Eberle Ewing, Joy Robinson, and Matt Maguire on a hike exploring Petaluma’s Lafferty Ranch on Sonoma Mountain, taking our time looking at what’s blooming and learning to identify some of our native oaks, and enjoying the sounds of the perennial stream and the views of Petaluma Valley and beyond. This day we will hike approximately 2.5 miles, with over 300 feet elevation gain. There are some steep, challenging and potentially slippery paths. We will take a few breaks along the way to catch our breath and look around.
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.
