Summit Saturday at Jack London SHP

If you've previously completed the Intermediate Hiking for Fitness Program or can hike 8.5 miles with at least 2,000ft of elevation, this hike is for you! We strongly recommend completion of the shorter version of the Bald Mt. hike (in and out via Bald Mountain Trail) as a pre-requisite. This outing is not for children under 16 years old.

This outing will be an out-and-back hike through Jack London State Historic Park of more than 8 miles and 1,800 ft of elevation gain. We will meet at the Upper parking lot and make our way up Mountain Trail to the summit of Sonoma Mountain up to the park boundary, overseeing the eastern side of Sonoma Valley.

This event is free (donations are encouraged) but requires RSVP. Wear appropriate footwear for rocky/slippery trails and layers. Bring your lunch, at least half a gallon (64oz) of water, sun protection, and if desired, a snack and hiking poles. Parking fees apply. In case of predicted temperatures exceeding 90°F on July 12, our backup date will be July 19.

Ease of access: The hiking route will be mostly an unpaved fire road with steep switchbacks in some places and at least 40% sun exposure.
