Yuba Historical Society

Ridge Walker Delight


          
Join an energetic climb to the center of the Sutter Butte volcano on Yuba Historical Society’s Ridge Walker Delight hike.  While trekking to the 1,750-foot destination, visitors will view fascinating rock formations looming over the ridge like Easter Island statues.  While on top, get an up close perspective of all the peaks in the Buttes as well as the Great Central Valley stretching towards the horizon. If it is a clear day, we will be treated to views of Mt. Shasta to the north, and Mt. Diablo to the south. The hike also includes talks on topics such as Sutter Butte geology, the mountain's unique biology, and stories of the Maidu and Wintun Indians who view the mountain as a sacred land form.

Cost is $35 for Yuba Historical Society members and $45 for non-members, children age 12 and under, $15/$20. Membership prices start at $15.
