A Winter Redwood Experience

Join us for the Redwood Experience at Jack London State Historic Park on a mix of hiking, scientific learning, sensory activities, and mindful meditation. Participants will discover the fortifying energy of the forest as they travel to the park’s only ancient redwood, the 2,000-year-old giant of Sonoma Mountain.

The group will take a moderately paced 4+ mile hike, gaining 620 feet in elevation, stopping occasionally for “experiences” using touch, scent, sound, and sight to connect with the environment and encounter the forest more deeply.

The event will conclude with a guided redwood meditation session and a silent hiking section through the fairy ring forest ending at about 11:30 a.m.

Bring water, hiking poles, if you have one, a bandana or eye mask (for the Find Your Tree Activity), and clothing suitable for the weather. The hike takes place on uneven, rocky terrain, and wear layers. Sturdy shoes or hiking boots are recommended.

Note: heavy rain cancels.
