Trione-Annadel State Park - California
Trione-Annadel State Park is situated at the northern edge of Sonoma Valley and is adjacent to Spring Lake Regional Park in Santa Rosa.
The rock formations of Trione-Annadel have played central role in its history: its volcanic origins, the Native American use of obsidian, the early 1900s mining of cobblestones, and modern hikers' appreciation of its volcanic rock outcrops. These lands were occupied by the Wappo and Pomo people in prehistoric times, who would have primarily inhabited the riparian zones and the marsh perimeter.
Annadel includes some of the best example of undisturbed northern oak woodlands in existence. Visitors can enjoy the park's diverse wildlife and scenery during any time of the year but are perhaps most rewarded from April through June when most wildflowers are in bloom.

A
nnadel State Park sits in the historic
Valley of the Moon, an area popularized
by author Jack London. This largely
undeveloped park is 60 miles north of San
Francisco on the eastern edge of Santa
Rosa. The park has more than 5,500 acres
of rolling hills, seasonal streams, meadows,
and woodlands free from modern intrusions.
Summers are hot and dry, with
temperatures reaching into the 90s and
evening lows near 50 degrees. At times
during the summer, coastal fog penetrates
inland, providing cool evenings. Most
of the area’s 30 inches of rain occur from
November to April. Wintertime low
temperatures can drop to the mid-20s with
daytime highs in the 50s or 60s.
PARK HISTORY
For thousands of years, the Southern
Pomo lived near what is now the park. No
permanent village sites have been found in
the park, but these lands were important as
trading grounds and as a source of obsidian,
a volcanic rock that was traded with other
tribes, who would work it into scrapers,
knives, arrow points, and spearheads.
In the early 1800s, Russian and Aleutian
fur trappers arrived in the area to establish
Fort Ross, now a state historic park. They
found the Pomo willing traders and hard
workers. The Fort Ross settlers may have
been among the Pomo’s first contact with
non-native people.
Gold rush miners and settlers who wanted
the Pomo lands arrived after 1848, bringing
disease and violence. Surviving Pomo went
to nearby Mission San Francisco Solano,
were forced into involuntary servitude, or
were moved onto reservations.
Though the Pomo resisted these
drastic changes to their way of life, many
succumbed to overwork and to European
diseases to which they had no resistance.
With the arrival of Europeans, cattle
ranching and farming gradually replaced
the native pattern of hunting and
gathering. By 1837 this area had become
part of Los Guilicos Rancho, a Mexican
land grant covering about 19,000 acres.
Eleven years later, the property was
acquired by William Hood, who came here
from his native Scotland.
In the late 1800s, sheep and cattle grazing
gave way to the quarrying of cobblestones.
This was the major source of income for the
Wymore and Hutchinson families, the area’s
principal landowners, until the early 1900s.
Cobblestones were used in the building of
San Francisco and other west coast cities, as
well as in their reconstruction after the 1906
earthquake. However, cobblestone roads
were not suitable for motor vehicles,
and by the 1920s, demand for them had
significantly declined.
In the 1930s, entrepreneur Joe Coney
bought 3,200 acres of oak woodlands
near Santa Rosa from Irish immigrant
Samuel Hutchinson. Hutchinson had
named his ranch by combining the name
of his daughter, Annie, with dell (a small,
secluded, wooded valley). Under the
Coneys’ ownership, it became known
as “the Annadel Farm.” Coney built a
hunting and fishing retreat for his friends.
He stocked the property with game
birds and filled his man-made lake, Lake
Ilsanjo (built in the mid-1950s and named
for the Coney couple, Ilse and Joe), with
black bass and other fish. When his
fortunes began to diminish in the 1960s,
Joe Coney decided to sell the ranch.
California State Parks acquired Annadel in
1971, and it became a state park in 1974.

NATURAL HISTORY
Annadel’s terrain consists of a diverse
range of plant communities, including
meadows, grasslands, forests, and
chaparral areas. Environmental conditions
favor the development of these varied
habitats, making it possible to view a wide
variety of birds and animals during a visit.
Deer are commonly seen around sunset,
and coyotes are among the many species
of wildlife here.
RECREATION
Hikers, equestrians, mountain bicyclists,
runners, and nature-lovers can choose
among more than 40 miles of trails.
Elevation gains and degree of difficulty
vary with each trail.

E
l Parque Estatal Annadel se ubica en
el histórico Valle de la Luna (Valley of the
Moon), un área popular gracias al escritor
Jack London. Este parque muy agreste queda
a 60 millas al norte de San Francisco en el
límite este de Santa Rosa. El parque tiene
más de 5500 acres de colinas onduladas,
arroyos estacionales, prados y bosques libre
de intromisiones modernas.
Los veranos son calurosos y secos, con
temperaturas que alcanzan los 90 °F (32 °C) y
con mínimas cercanas a los 50 °F (10 °C), por
las tardes. En ocasiones, durante el verano,
la bruma costera avanza sobre el continente,
lo cual causa que las tardes sean frescas.
La mayor parte de las 30 pulgadas de lluvia
que se reportan suceden de noviembre a
abril. Las temperaturas mínimas de invierno
pueden descender a un promedio de 20 °F
(-7°C), con un promedio de máximas de
50-60 °F (10-16°C) durante el día.
HISTORIA DEL PARQUE
Por miles de años, los pomos del norte
vivieron cerca de lo que actualmente es el
parque. No se han encontrado sitios de
villas permanentes en el parque, sin
embargo, estas tierras eran importantes
como lugar de comercio y como fuente
de obsidiana y roca volcánica que se
intercambiaban con otras tribus que las
usaban para hacer raspadores, cuchillos,
puntas de flechas y puntas de lanzas.
A principios de 1800, los cazadores de
pieles rusos y aleutianos llegaron al área
para establecer Fort Ross, que actualmente
es un parque estatal histórico. Notaron que
los pomos eran comerciantes dispuestos y
muy laboriosos. Los colonos de Fort Ross
deben haber sido el primer contacto de los
pomos con personas no nativas.
Los mineros de la fiebre del oro y los
colonos que pretendían las tierras de
los pomos llegaron en 1848, y con ellos
violencia y enfermedades. Los pomos que
sobrevivieron se trasladaron a la misión
cercana de San Francisco Solano, fueron
forzados a servitud involuntaria o fueron
trasladados a reservas.
A pesar de que los pomos se resistieron a
los cambios drásticos en su modo de vida,
muchos sucumbieron ante el exceso de
labores y ante las enfermedades europeas
para las cuales no eran inmunes.
Con la llegada de los europeos, la cría
de ganado y la agricultura gradualmente
remplazaron los patrones nativos de
caza y recolección. Para 1837, esta área
se había convertido en parte del Rancho
Los Guilicos, una concesión de tierras
mexicanas de una extensión de 19 000
acres. Once años después, la propiedad fue
adquirida por William Hood, que llegó aquí
desde su Escocia natal.
A fines de 1800, el pastoreo ovino y
bovino le dio lugar a la extracción de
adoquines. Hasta principios de 1900, este
constituía la mayor fuente de ingresos
de las familias Wymore y Hutchinson, los
principales terratenientes de la zona. Los
adoquines se usaron en la construcción
de San Francisco y otras ciudades de
la costa oeste, así como también en la
reconstrucción luego del terremoto de
1906. Sin embargo, las carreteras de
adoquines no eran adecuadas para los
automotores y, para fines de 1920, su
demanda disminuyó significativamente.
En la década de 1930, el empresario
Joe Coney le compró 3200 acres de
bosques de robles cercanos a Santa
Rosa a un inmigrante irlandés llamado
Samuel Hutchinson. Hutchinson nombró
su rancho a partir de la combinación del
nombre de su hija, Annie y la palabra
“dell” que, en inglés, significa pequeño
valle arbolado. Bajo la propiedad de
los Coney, fue conocido como la “Granja
Annadel”. Coney construyó un remanso
de caza y pesca para sus amigos.
Aprovisionó la propiedad con aves de
caza y llenó su lago artificial, el Lago
Ledson Marsh
Ilsanjo (hecho a mediados de 1950 y
nombrado en honor a la pareja Coney, Ilse
y Joe) con lubinas negras y otros peces.
Cuando su fortuna comenzó a disminuir
en 1960, Joe Coney decidió ven
