  Buttes Transect Hike—Higher  
       

Traverse the craggy central volcanic core of the Sutter Buttes. This is a very strenuous, "aggressive," and physically demanding hike that requires strength, stamina, and good, solid boots. Our hiking route climbs steeply to a natural ridge that will provide expansive panoramas of the Buttes and beyond. Total will be 7-8 miles with about 1900 feet of elevation gain and 1200 feet of eleva­tion loss. Only register if you are in top physical shape. Cost is $50. Bring food and water. Meet at 7:30 am. Limit is 15.
