The route is about 3 miles round trip over uneven, semi-rough rocky terrain down along the river, timed for late afternoon into dusk when owls become active. It is open to ages 12 and older, so it suits nature-minded tweens and teens hiking with a parent. Bring a flashlight, binoculars, water and a light jacket. General admission was $30 (members register free with a newsletter code), but the organizer reports the event is sold out and registration is closed. ## Similar picks in Sacramento - [Effie Yeaw Nature Center](https://grassyknees.com/sacramento/activities/effie-yeaw-nature-center--listing-1a63a0946560ca23ce41691f) — Tuesday–Sunday; Nov 1–Jan 31 9:00 AM–4:00 PM; Feb 1–Oct 31 9:00 AM–5:00 PM · Effie Yeaw Nature Center (Ancil Hoffman County Park), Carmichael · All ages · Paid · checked Oct 20.
