8A Daily News – Tuesday, October 25, 2011 Dye Creek hike Courtesy photo by Jackson Shedd The Nature Conservancy to provide free guided hikes at Dye Creek Preserve. The Nature Conservancy will host a series of free public hikes on a breath- taking preserve in the Red Bluff area, the 37,540-acre Dye Creek Preserve, located near Los Molinos. Because the preserve is a working cattle ranch, the Conservancy's semi-annual tours pro- vide the public with an opportunity to view some of the region's most spectac- ular landscapes with knowledgeable and entertaining guides, providing insight on many cultural, geological and biolog- ical points of interest. All events are held rain or shine, with the exception of a serious down- pour. Sturdy footwear/hiking boots are a requirement. The weather may be hot or humid and wet, so wear layered clothing and bring waterproof clothing and a hat. Carry plenty of drinking water and bring a lunch. Arrive 15 minutes early. Space is limited to 25 people, so visitors are advised to book early. To book a reservation and get direc- tions or receive more information, con- tact Jackson Shedd of The Nature Con- servancy at 588-8013 or jshedd@tnc.org. The hikes through Dye Creek Canyon will be 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Nov. 5 and Nov. 19. The four to five mile hike follows the course of Dye Creek itself, which cuts through a pristine setting of volcanic buttes, hills and extensive blue oak woodlands, before flowing into the Sacramento River. Expect spectacular views, late season flowers, occasional wildlife sightings, such as golden eagles and Lewis's woodpeckers. Visitors will have a rare opportunity to explore a cave thought to have been frequented by Ishi, the last survivor of the Yahi Indian Tribe. A good level of fitness and agility is required to complete the strenuous hike. Hikers will have to traverse a creek and navigate rocky terrain.
