Traylor Ranch Nature Reserve and Bird Sanctuary

Traylor Ranch Nature Reserve and Bird Sanctuary

Quiet and perfect for birdwatching, many acres of trees and beauty. So many birds migrating south,…read moreI love California definitely a great spot on earth

I guess I'd categorize this as more of a "walk" than a "hike" but that's often debatable, as it is in this case. Walking usually involves little change in altitude and it is in fact, fairly flat here. My GPS registered a total of 75 feet change over my three mile walk and honestly, that's not far from the typical vertical axis margin of error for a GPS over the hour or so that I was walking - so there's that. "Walking" over "hiking" also speaks to the surface being tread upon. Walking is usually on flat prepared surfaces - sidewalks, streets, well manicured gravel paths, etc. These paths aren't in that category. They aren't accessible for elderly with walkers or wheelchairs for sure. Some were wider dirt roads that a truck could go down, but others were fairly narrow "ruts" in the dirt & mud created by the single file passage of horses. You can probably get away with wearing walking or cross training type shoes during the warmer/drier months, but hiking shoes or even boots wouldn't be a bad idea to give a bit of ankle support with the uneven paths - but really, overall, this place is pretty easy... just not "paved sidewalk" easy. As the name implies, it's intended to be a nature reserve and bird sanctuary. There's a list of 66 varieties of birds that supposedly can be seen during different times of the year. Late February isn't exactly peek birding season - I only saw a half-dozen varieties or so... maybe not even that. I plan to come back a few times in the future - follow and find out where more of the trails lead - there are trails all over the place; it's not just one big loop or anything. I did end up making a fairly big loop and clocked in at three miles. It'll also be nice to check this place out when more birds are out and about... not when it's too hot, though. Most of the trails are out in the open with very little tree cover - I can imagine it getting very hot during the summer.

I spent a lot of my childhood at my Grandma's house in Loomis, scurrying to the top of the playset to watch as trains flew past. I loved falling asleep to the gentle sounds of steel wheels hitting train tracks as a kid, and now that I live in midtown Sacramento, I still get to hear it, and it makes me happy. I'll stop being a Sheldon Cooper, and get on with it. Although trains have not stopped here for many years, the Loomis Train Depot has recently been restored to its former glory as a historical point of interest train station in the heart of the town of Loomis. You can't miss it. Just follow Horseshoe Bar Road from the Loomis exit off of I-80, past Taylor Road, until it dead ends at Blue Anchor Park, behind Taylor's, where you should also stop for a Golden Eagle Shake. GO DOHS! It is currently the site of town hall meetings, and inside you'll find a gavel and courtroom style chair set up along with a small train museum for enthusiasts. It's also an awesome venue for a small party or in this month's case, a bridal shower. There are plenty of chairs, tables, and a kitchen complete with sink, trash cans, microwave and fridge. I liked this location as a venue so much that I have my eye on it for the future.
