Jack London State Historic Park will host two guided hikes on Aug. 30; a hike to the park’s summit from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and a bird identification walk, guided in Spanish, from 9 a.m. to noon.

Jack London State Historic Park is set to host two distinct guided hikes later this month, an English-language hike to the park’s summit and a Spanish-language bird identification walk.

Both hikes offer unique experiences for visitors and reservations can be made at https://jacklondonpark.com/events/.

The 8-mile summit trek is described as moderately paced but challenging. It is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 30.

The route will take hikers through the shaded Lake Trail and Mountain Trail before gradually transitioning to the sunny Hayfields Trail as it ascends to the top of Sonoma Mountain.

Tickets are $10 in addition to the $10-per-vehicle park-entry fee. To reserve a spot, visit, https://jacklondonpark.com/events/hike-to-the-summit/.

The bird identification walk, Las Aves de Sonoma, take place from 9 a.m. to noon, also on Aug. 30.

After a quick discussion of cellphone applications to help guests identify birds, the group will use their phones to do so as they walk to London Lake.

This slow-paced walk will allow ample time for listening and spotting birds while experiencing the forest.

Participants should download the Merlin Bird ID application before coming to the park, available in the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.

This hike is free, aside from the $10 per vehicle park entry fee. Reservations are required at https://jacklondonpark.com/events/las-aves-de-sonoma/.

Participants for both hikes are encouraged to bring plenty of water, hiking poles, dress in layers, and wear sturdy shoes.

Those embarking on the summit hike should pack a lunch.

In the event of extreme heat, both hikes may be canceled.
