Trione-Annadel State Park

East of Santa Rosa, Trione-Annadel State Park offers trails for hiking and cycling in a landscape of hills, woodland, and open spaces. Check California State Parks for maps, current notices, trail rules, and access information before you go.

Santa Rosa & the Sonoma Coast

Leave time for Santa Rosa’s shops, restaurants, and local attractions. For a change of scenery, consider a separate outing toward Bodega Bay and the Sonoma Coast. Check routes and driving times for your itinerary rather than assuming every destination is close to the ranch.
