Sugarloaf Ridge State Park near Kenwood is a mountain park in Sonoma County, with grassy slopes, oak woodlands and open ridges above wine country. It offers a quieter and more rugged alternative to the valley below. Trails lead to Bald Mountain and other viewpoints with wide views across Sonoma Valley, and seasonal waterfalls flow after winter rains. The Robert Ferguson Observatory hosts public stargazing programs, and the park's campground makes it easy to stay overnight. Entry is $10 per vehicle. Spring wildflowers and green hills make that season especially beautiful.
