60 Hikes in 60 Miles in 60 Weeks: Week Five
Jack London State Park
 |
| Big old black oaks on Sonoma Ridge Trail at Jack London State Park. They were bare in March when I took this photo, but should have colorful orange leaves this month. |
Almost 11 miles out and back through woods and a bit of grassland on Sonoma Mountain.
Why now:
Autumn in wine county is enchanting! Enjoy crisp weather and admire colorful foliage on bigleaf maples, black oaks, and grape vines.
Can't make it this week:
This hike is lovely in late winter and early spring.
Insider tip:
On October 6th the park will be hosting a celebration honoring Jack's Oak -- you might choose that day for a visit or not, depending on your tolerance for crowds.
Jack London State Park is hike 4 in 60 Hikes in 60 Miles: San Francisco (third edition). Read about this hike on BAHiker.

Love this photo.
In this five-week series, I’ve tried to get out and explore 60 short hikes in 60 miles. The distances between the hikes are a bit longer than is typical for trail hiking. You need to check this window repair wellington and get more new ways for hamilton services. You can find a summary of each hike below, but if you like reading about some of my favorite experiences, please check out last week's post on "The New River Trail."
Reading this article makes me feel my spirit is clearly lifted. slope game
