History Hike at Oracle State Park
Oracle State Park
Sunday, November 22, 2026 12-1:30 p.m.
Want to dive deeper into the life and work of the Kannally family? Hear stories about the family, how they grew their ranch to 50,000 acres, and how the ranch eventually became Oracle State Park. This program will combine both a tour of the Kannally Ranch house and a hike to see some of the historic ranching structures still standing around the park.
The hike will take place along the half-mile Kannally Ranch Interpretive Trail and include around 100ft of elevation gain. The hike will take place along uneven terrain and include a short section in a wash. We encourage you to wear hiking shoes, bring water, and sun protection.
Meet at the Kannally Ranch House. This program is free with regular day-use admission or an annual state parks pass.
