Sonoma County Hikes
Healdsburg, California

Fran Miller is an anthropologist and lecturer who leads back country hikes throughout Sonoma County. Her trips are primarily held in Healdsburg at Bishops Ranch located 7 miles away from Russian River Adventures' headquarters. Encompassing indigenous beliefs and wisdom from various Native American tribes who have inhabited Sonoma County within a millenium of time, Fran's hikes can be tailored towards your comfort level because she likes to lead people who seek less stress in their lives. The following quote is especially enjoyed by many people on her hikes,

"Earth, Teach Me

Earth teach me quiet ~ as the grasses are still with new light.
Earth teach me caring ~ as mothers nurture their young.
Earth teach me courage ~ as the tree that stands alone.
Earth teach me freedom ~ as the eagle that soars in the sky.
Earth teach me acceptance ~ as the leaves that die each fall.
Earth teach me renewal ~ as the seed that rises in the spring.
Earth teach me to remember kindness ~ as dry fields weep with rain.
