Arboretum Walking Tour

Our tour will encompass both the Arboretum and UC Davis GATEway loops for a ~2-mile walk that includes the Redwood Grove, California Native Plants Garden, the Native American Contemplative Garden, and the Animal Sciences horse barn. There will be an opportunity to take a shorter loop of the Arboretum for folks who prefer a 1-mile walk. The trail is paved and accessible for mobility devices. All are welcome!

Mabie Law Library

Join us for a tour of the Mabie Law Library within the UC Davis Law School at King Hall. We will take a seven-minute walk from Shields Library to the Law School’s current entrance facing our UC Davis Eggheads, See No Evil/Hear No Evil. Situated in the original half of King Hall, we will pass through the King Hall Lobby that houses our Martin Luther King, Jr. statue and visit our reading rooms and library stacks. Our reading rooms are on two floors, so we will take an elevator to the second floor with the option of taking the elevator or a flight of stairs down to the main floor to end the tour. No registration is required.
