Suisun Hill Trail is a 1.3 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Suisun City, California that offers scenic views and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, and horses and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
Park on either side of the road.
Take Grizzly Island Road south from Suisun City. The entrance is a gate across from Rush Ranch.
Beautiful as ever. Bit nippy temp wise but that's probably because I procrastinated on going. Oops.
Although this hike is not as interesting as the nearby Marsh Trail loop, it still has some excellent views of the marsh when you get to the top of the hill.
Cute little trail close to home. Perfect spot for sunset. The cows are out right now and are shy but interested in checking out our dog which was really cute. No one out there on March 25th and got to see a rainbow! It can be very windy at the top of the hill. There are a couple parking spots across from the gate at the entrance of rush ranch.
2/5/20 Grass was green and beautiful; blue skies in the background. Very short hike but with nice views of the Suisun marshlands.
Just because people say the cows don't mind people, doesn't mean every cow is gonna accept your presence. Two bulls fighting each other and a charging big momma cow are not what I had planned for the day. Even if you keep your distance, you might find yourself needing an exit strategy. thankfully when she charged me I was closer to the gate than to her. I'll be back when the cows arent around.
The view was great. There were quite a lot of cows when we went but they didn't seem to mind people and minded their own business. They were quite fun to watch though. The trail is pretty short, which can be good sometimes. The only negative thing was the cow piles. There were quite a lot of them and had to stop my dog from eating and/or rolling around in them numerous times.
We just had our 3-19-2016 (2015-2016 season close) Rush Ranch and Suisun Hills Trail Birds of Prey workshop and hike.... we had over 30 attendees and 10 Raptor Species. Bald Eagles, Golden Eagles, Red-tailed Hawks, Ferruginous Hawk, American Kestrels, Northern Harriers, White-tailed Kites, Turkey Vultures, Barn Owl and Great-horned Owl. I wanted to thank all of the attendees and docents who came out this year.... and a special, special thanks to Natalie DuMont, Earl Swenerton Linda Sonner and Jim Coleen Walsh for making the Raptor tours and workshops a success.... also thanks to all the West County HawkWatch team members who helped out this year, Tom Motherwell, Yvonne Motherwell, Dave Laurice and Steve Corey... It was a fantastic year we had over 250 people attending and we counted as many raptors as we had attendees! Great place to bird, walk, enjoy views.... Agreed beware of cows and park is dog friendly..... Great spot just depends on what you are looking for, also aside from Suisun Hills, Rush Ranch offers great nature viewing and birding trails....
