The Valley of the Moon in the northern California wine country stretches between Santa Rosa and Sonoma.  Nestled in the hills bounding the valley are three scenic California State Parks - Annadel and Jack London State Parks to the south and Sugarloaf Ridge to the north.

Annadel State Park Located adjacent to the City of Santa Rosa, Annadel State Park offers miles of trails for year-round hiking, biking and horseback riding. Annadel State Park is not affected by park closures.
Jack London State Historic Park Jack London's "Beauty Ranch" is the legacy of the writer.  The Museum, the "Wolf House" ruin, the Cottage, the Winery Ruin, the Silos and the barns are remnants of Jack and Charmian's life on the ranch.  Combined with great scenic beauty and many hiking trails, the park is a year-round attraction to fans of the writer as well as nature lovers. Volunteer docents lead scheduled week-end hikes to the Wolf House and the Beauty Ranch.
