Browns Valley open space
Vacaville, CA
hikers: Brian, Carol, Mark, Lecia, and Bailey the dog.
distance: we went a couple of miles. We hiked to the top of a hill with a view, and back the same way.
We spent the night at Brian and Carol's home and the next morning they took us on a hike. The trailhead was just a couple of blocks from their house so we walked there. Isn't that great to have hiking so close to home?
They like to bring their grandsons, who are maybe 6 and 8ish, here to hike when they are in town.
It looks dry and barren. Much of it was this time of year with the recent hot weather . It was a good thing we went in the morning because there isn't a lot of shade. It wouldn't be pleasant on a hot afternoon.
There were a few things growing.
It is uphill. The further you go the better the view.
This is Bailey. Brian borrowed her from his neighbor for the hike. We came to a huge rock and Bailey was ready for a rest.
There were some trees and this one had a really fun rope swing!
At the top of the hill was a bench,
and a nice view of Vacaville!
Bailey kept the pace nice and slow for the rest of us but on the way down
it was too much for her. Brian helped her out. You can see she is not a small dog.
