Bay Area folks who are dying to answer the call of the wild, go where the wild things are or while away a little time now have the opportunity of a lifetime — the Wild Trail Challenge at Jack London State Historic Park in the unincorporated community of Glen Ellen in Sonoma County.

For those who are tough enough to try it, the challenge is a series of five hikes on five consecutive Saturdays increasing in duration and/or difficulty each week, covering every trail in the park for a total of 31.2 miles, park officials announced this month.

The series begins on Sept. 7 and concludes on Oct. 5, and participants can do one or (gasp!) all of the hikes. The price for each hike is $25 including the $10 park entry fee. There is a 20% discount if you sign up for all hikes at once.

Details and reservations are available at the park’s website.
