Celebrate Memorial Day with a scenic morning hike at Jack London State Historic Park exploring the three Fallen Bridge Trails—Old, Upper, and New. Don’t worry—despite their names, all bridges are intact! Each trail offers something unique, from open grasslands and mixed evergreens to shady redwood groves. This moderate, 3+ mile roundtrip hike moves at a relaxed pace and returns via Quarry Trail and the newly improved Vineyard Trail to London Lake. Keep an eye out for late-season wildflowers along the way!

Perfect before an afternoon barbecue, this adventure is a great way to start the holiday. Be sure to bring water, hiking poles, a snack, and dress for the weather. Sturdy shoes are recommended for navigating elevation changes and uneven terrain.
