Hike Sonoma Mountain!

Located on the northwest flank of Sonoma Mountain, SSU's Fairfield Osborn Preserve is a wonderful place to explore oak woodlands, shady fir forests, and a rare fishless perennial stream.  Trained naturalists lead visitors on hikes with excellent panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and (for the adventurous) plenty of opportunities to observe and handle critters.  The Fairfield Osborn Preserve serves as a research site for scientists from Sonoma State University and other institutions and is normally closed to the public, so take advantage of this rare opportunity to explore your beautiful local mountain!
