We have visited and wine tasted in Sonoma for 40 years and stayed in Glen Ellen a number of times and this was our first visit to the park (prior to a wine tasting at nearby Benzinger). It was humbling to see the burned remains of the Wolf House considering this Wine Country area is being ravaged by wildfires every summer now. Interesting to visit the simple grave of Jack London and the beautiful vineyard that is part of Beauty Ranch. Very enjoyable visit and followed by a drink on the lovely Creekside patio at the Jack Saloon in downtown Glen Ellen.…

Always include a picnic lunch to enjoy on property.…

This is a beautiful state park and we spent an enjoyable morning. However, there are no paved biking trails and our kids found it too challenging to bike on the multi-use trails, which have lots of stones and are sandy. So unless you are an experienced biker, I would suggest sticking to hiking. There were very few people when we went, so easy to socially distance.…
