EL DORADO RANCH HIKE-EXPLORE THE HISTORY AND PLANTS AT EL DORADO RANCH

Thursday, May 2nd 10am-4pm (This hike has been postponed twice due to ground saturation)

The tour and short walks will be led by local historian Dee Owens and botanist Annie Walker. Walking any distance will be optional, as most sites are accessible by vehicle.

We will also visit the site of "Milk House Ranch," an early ranch in the area. We will end the day at the Miller Ranch, an example of later 19th Century cattle and Angora goat ranching. Responsible children 12+ welcome. Meeting location El Dorado area. Steady rain cancels. Suggested Donation: $10/members, $15/non-members. A detailed email will be sent once you register online.
