We will walk the Orchard Trail in the Jack London Historic Park and then pay a visit to the historic sites nearby.

HIKE: Our hike is a 4.9-mile loop trail near Glen Ellen, California. We will walk through vineyards, orchards, oak forest, and groves of redwood trees, while also hiking past lakes, streams and historic structures. Much of the trail is shaded, but there are sections with sun exposure, so please bring a hat and sun protection. We'll meet at the Ranch parking lot.

ENTRANCE FEE: There is a $10 entrance fee to the state park, which covers access to the trails and visiting the historic sites.

TOUR: After our hike, we can head to the historic sites (.2 miles away) for self-guided tours of the House of Happy Walls Museum, Wolf House ruins, the Londons' cottage, and Beauty Ranch, all within easy walking distance of each other. The museum has a gift shop. [Learn more](https://jacklondonpark.com/historic-buildings/).

ATTENDANCE POLICY: Please be respectful. No-shows and late cancellations are only ok in extenuating circumstances. If your plans change, we request that you update your attendance AT LEAST 72 hours as a courtesy to the group. We intentionally keep our hikes small. Please do not take a limited slot if you are a "maybe" or if you aren't sure if you can come. If you are a no-show 2 times, you will be removed from the group.

WAITLIST: If a hike is full, contributors will take priority coming off the waitlist. If you are on the waitlist, please check if a spot opened before the hike. Please remove yourself from the waitlist 48 hours or more before the hike if you can no longer attend so you do not take someone else's spot if one opens. Waitlists can move quickly and spots often open before the hike, so please check often, including the day before, to see if you are on the hike.

FRIENDS: Sorry, this hike is limited to group members only.

DOGS: Unfortunately dogs are not allowed on this trail.

CONTRIBUTIONS: We are asking members for voluntary annual contributions (once per year) to sustain the group. Unfortunately, Meetup is not free and our volunteer team is working hard to plan activities for our incredible community. Our suggested annual contribution is $10-25. The links are:
