We chose a beautiful late September day to make the drive up I-5 and visit the grounds of the former Northern State. We've enjoyed visiting here before in the fall, as it has wonderful colors, a little spookiness (although the baby is too young to appreciate that yet) and flat paths he can work on toddling on.
The parking lot is large and was maybe 1/2 full when we arrived around 10am. Once we got on the trails, there were a few people here and there, but the area is large enough everyone can spread out and enjoy peace and quiet if they want it.
We enjoyed a meander through the fields, mixing open sunny areas with more shaded path ways. We explored for roughly a couple of hours, at which point the baby fell asleep in the backpack
