Great experience and look into Jack's life.
I did not know what to expect. But I ended up loving this place. Hiking, beautiful grounds, lots of information about Jack's life. I highly recommend visiting.
Beautiful spot to hike and spend the day
The $10 entry fee is worth it. Walk the grounds. Do a hike - 2 miles to 8 miles, good variety. And definitely check out the Jack London museum - so fun!
great small museum
Wonderful moving informative exhibit on the life and works of Jack London and his wife/editor Charmian. The grounds are large and scenic in a rugged wooded California way.
