Revel in the beauty of spring with either a
wildflower walk or hike. These outdoor adventures will be led by
naturalist John Lynch and focus on the interconnected web of nature at
the Park. Saturday discover the wildflowers along the Wolf House trail
on an easy short walk or on Sunday, take an intermediate 4 to 8 mile
hike on back country trails to discover a wider variety of
wildflowers. See Canyon Delphinium, Chinese Houses, Golden Fairy
Lantern, Lupine, Popcorn Flower, Mules Ears (2 varieties) as well as the
birds, reptiles and other plants that make up the eco-system of the
Park. Hikes are slow-paced so allow plenty of time, bring cameras,
binoculars, poles, plenty of water, snacks and wear sturdy shoes. Be
prepared for uneven ground.
Savoring the wines that are made from the abundant Sonoma Valley vineyards combined with experiencing the 1400 acres and 20 plus miles of trails in Jack London Park is an ideal way to mark Earth Day. The trails of Jack London Park take the traveler – either on foot, bicycle or horseback - thorough some of the most pristine wilderness of Sonoma County. Raise a glass of wine to toast the land we cherish so much during Sonoma Valley's Earth Day. Participating Sonoma Valley wineries will donate a percentage of their weekend sales to Jack London Park.
Valley of the Moon contains lush, fertile land that Bay Area writer/adventurer Jack London described as "the most beautiful land to be found in California." A rich heritage and mutual appreciation for this particular part of the Earth that led to the development of the Wine & Walk Celebration.
Following a stop at those wineries supporting Jack London Park, visitors are encouraged to enjoy their winery purchases with a picnic at Jack London Park.
Earth Day is an annual day on which events are held worldwide to increase awareness and appreciation of the natural environment. Breathtaking views of the Valley of the Moon, ancient redwoods, an heirloom orchard, magnificent oaks, bird calls in the forest, wind in the trees and the sound of water in the stream offer an awe inspiring and contemplative experience. Jack London's greatest pleasure may have been riding these trails.
