  Experience Jack London State Historic Park in a whole new light during Walk on the Wild Side, a guided evening hike that reveals the fascinating world of the park’s crepuscular and nocturnal wildlife.
  As the sun begins to set and the landscape transforms, participants will enjoy a moderate-paced hike along park trails, stopping periodically to learn about the animals that become more active as daylight fades. Along the way, a park naturalist will share insights into the behaviors, habitats, and adaptations of lthe wildlife that thrive during the evening hours.
  This educational hike offers a unique opportunity to experience the park’s sights and sounds as day transitions to night, while gaining a deeper appreciation for the wildlife that call Jack London State Historic Park home.


The trail camera image was captured by a camera in the park in partnership with California State Parks and All Hands Ecology’s Living with Lions program. These cameras contribute to an approved regional study.
