Sutter Buttes Brockman Canyon Nature Study

In the midst of California’s broad Sacramento Valley, an isolated cluster of small mountain peaks rise abruptly above the populated and cultivated valley floor. Standing rugged and raw in stark contrast to the surrounding development below, they draw our eyes, indeed our very souls, today just as they have intrigued those before us. The indigenous Maidu, who lived in their shadow for thousands of years, called them Esto Yamani, which means “the Middle Mountain” and regarded as a special place to be revered, a place for spiritual and physical sustenance. Come with the Land Trust and experienced Middle Mountain Guides for an informative and challenging guided tour into this magical place as we explore Brockman Canyon. Explore the depths of Brockman Canyon, a little seen area of the Buttes as your guide helps you see the details and learn about the delicate balance of nature that exists here. Pull out your hiking boots, pack a lunch and spend a day in paradise.
