📚🔥🐾 Exploring Wolf House Ruins & Jack London’s Legacy — Glen Ellen, CA

Simba 🐾 and I visited Jack London State Historic Park in Glen Ellen, California to explore the haunting remains of Wolf House — the legendary mansion that tragically burned before the famous author ever had the chance to call it home — and to pay respects at Jack London’s peaceful gravesite hidden in the surrounding forest.

Surrounded by lush greenery, quiet woodland paths, and rich California history, these moss-covered ruins tell the story of London’s literary success, deep love for the land, and his ambitious dream of building a spectacular stone retreat. Today, visitors can wander through historic ranch structures, read interpretive signs, and feel the quiet mystery of what might have been.
