Mount St. Helena – Stevenson Memorial Trail
Trailhead is in Robert Louis Stevenson State Park – North of Calistoga
The best view of the wine country is from the top of 4,343-foot Mt. Saint Helena, reached by a five mile trail that winds through stands of knobcone pine to deliver summit panoramas of not only Napa Valley but the High Sierra and San Francisco Bay as well. The 10 mile trail starts easy and gets very strenuous.
This multiuse trail is perfect for experienced mountain bikers and hikers. It is a rustic trail, with no regular maintenance, so during winter months it gets very messy! The trail is 9 miles round trip and has some very steep climbs – making it something that only experience bikers and hikers should attempt.
