Went for a ride today with a couple friends and we rolled over to what is called the Sutter Buttes. The Buttes are the smallest mountain range in the world. The range is actually circular with a diameter of 10 miles and covers 75 square miles.
The mountains are the remnants of a old volcano that has been dormant for one million years. The highest peak is 2,117 ft. above sea level. Before modern levees and dams were built to contain the rivers, winter storms and spring run-off frequently turned the sacramento valley into an inland sea making the buttes an island refuge for indians, settlers , and wildlife.
The buttes rise with astonishing suddeness out of the sacramento valley..........and if your on a busa they rise even faster
Were start'in to get close.......
