Putah Creek Riparian Reserve

Friends of ours took us to the Putah Creek Riparian Reserve one beautiful weekday afternoon for a little hiking. We parked at the County Road 98 entrance. I had Little Bro snuggled up in my Ergo carrier; my friend had her infant in her rugged stroller and the big kids hiked. I was really impressed with Big Sis who, with some peer pressure, hiked for about 2 hours with breaks here and there. It's not an *amazing* hike but it's pretty enough and there are a few things of interest to distract the kids. There's a small airport nearby so planes fly overhead every once in a while. We hiked until we reached a man-made beehive. I wouldn't normally get too close to something like that but my friend is a biologist so I was a little braver than usual. We decided to head back after our encounter with the bees because the kids were tired.
There are no restrooms at this entrance.
I'll probably head back here but park at a different entrance to hike other parts of the trail
