Day Hikes Around Napa Valley ReviewWe all know why people visit Napa Valley. Indeed, you can take a train tour to avoid driving while getting a little too tipsy with all the samplings of California's finest wine. But Napa Valley is a very pretty place as well, with lots of historic features that deserve some exploration. So, if you are planning a visit to Napa Valley and plan to walk a little in addition to tempting your taste buds, consider this book by veteran hiker Robert Stone. It includes numerous, mostly short, walks in and around Napa Valley and will add to your trip.
Like most hiking guides Stone has authored in California, this one includes a heavy emphasis on short day excursions and includes small wildlife preserves, city parks, and other open space areas that are often overlooked in larger guidebooks. Some of these are fun to explore, but Stone is at his best describing the many hikes found in state parks in and around Napa Valley. Boothe Napa State Park and the nearby historic Bayle Grist Mill (one of the best preserved specimens on the west coast) almost merit an entire chapter of the book, and rightly so. Jack London State Historic Park in nearby Sonoma County is much larger than the typical historic park and Stone details no less than 12 hikes at this wonderful park alone. Annadel Park, Hood Mountain Regional Park, and Robert Louis Stevenson State Park are also featured prominently in this guidebook. Indeed, the latter includes what is probably the premier hike in this part of California, the climb to the summit of Mount Saint Helena. At over 4,000 feet, this is by far the highest point in the region and the view is spectacular. I visited there in December, and was taken with the 360 degree vista.
In all this is a good book to supplement any trip to Napa Valley that lasts more than a day or two. Indeed, I will be using it again on subsequent trips. Fair warning, like most Robert Stone books, this one has nice sketch maps, but no photos besides the covers. If you want to look at the Napa Valley before or after your trip, take some good photos yourself, or find another resource on Amazon.Day Hikes Around Napa Valley Overview
