An attraction of pastoral and historic interest easily accessible from Vacaville is Rush Ranch Open Space a 2,070-acre open space now administered by the Solano Land Trust.
Leashed dogs are welcome to accompany their people around the complex of historic ranch buildings where interpretive activities are staged on the third Saturday of each month. Of the property’s three trails, only the Suisun Hill Trail, which makes a climb of about 200 feet to a summit overlooking the Portrero Hills, is dog-friendly.
Pick a cool day for this trek: while the views are great, there’s virtually no shade on the grassy hillsides.
