So happy to finally be able to cross this hike off my bucket list. It was certainly worth the wait…read more It's not a long hike, but there is a little bit of climbing on rocks, especially towards the end I suggest wearing good shoes with traction The scenery along the way to the falls is lovely and changes throughout the hike. Meadows, fir trees, boulders, and ponds! We made it to the Falls on the last day of April. I would think that during the summer they wouldn't be flowing as greatly as they were now. Sitting below the falls was majestic. We also did the hike at the fork of the road, which eventually ends due to all the brush on the trail, and it was lovely as well with a beautiful pond

I always enjoy a hike to waterfall but it was quite disappointing that this fall was just a…read moretrickle. Though it's understandable because it is summer that the water flow is probably way better after some good rain. To get here, Google maps was help to get me to the parking lot. However, from the there i was quite confused reading others yelp or goggle reviews. Hopefully I can help those going. When driving up the hill from Napa, on the right you drive pass the Pacific Union College sign then pass by the city Angwin sign, immediately you will turn to your LEFT pass the baseball field into the gravel parking lot. From the baseball parking lot cross the street and walk along the bike path as you are walking against traffic flow. You will go back and pass the Pacific Union college sign and then you will see a bike path sign see pics. You walk on the pavement path for 6 min and then see the sign of Linda Fall preserve. See the map and the caution of the wild mushroom you should not eat. The path to the Falls is about 20 minutes in and 20 minutes out. You wil see your firstb Linda Falls sign. Then you will see a second Linda Falls sign. After the 2nd one be prepared for slippery dry dirt. You will want shoes with good grip. Soon you will be at Falls. Ther are lots of boulders to climb over to get close to the Falls. Its a small area and gets crowded. I suggest going before 11am. In my opinion age 6 and above it accurate. You will have to help kids the last 5- 10 minutes of the hike. Do not suggest infants and or in carriers. Im Glad I did this Falls hike while in Napa so I can write about and tell other people. It's a nice hike to get out with the family and friends, eat a snack or lunch at the Falls and head back. I recommend this hike just wish the beginning of the trail to get there had clear signs up.

Wright Peak Summit Trail is a beautiful hike in Lake County. If you are in the Kelseyville area, I…read morewould highly recommend it. The trail is about 7.5 miles in length with a steady incline. The parking lot is a decent size so we didn't have any issues with parking. The entire trail is wide and gravelly on a lot of the trail. It feels spacious and well maintained. Be careful going downhill due to the gravel and it is best to have hiking shoes and not running shoes to prevent from slipping. There is a decent amount of bathrooms along the way, which is great! There is limited shade so if you go in the summer, consider a hat. Also if going in the warmer months, I would come early to beat the heat. Bring lots of water to stay hydrated and possibly a picnic lunch to enjoy when you reach the top! You will see a historic cabin site along the way. The best view is from the top, which gives you panaramic lake views. It's truly beautiful and such an amazing reward when you reach the top! The views are spectacular!

Sheldon Creek has some very nice campsites way back in the valley behind Hopland. To get there you…read morehave to driving a fair way along a winding dirt road that has more than a few potholes, but the views of the valley and hills are well worth the drive. The six campsites are quite separated from each other so you don't have to worry about hearing your neighbors. It is BLM land so you don't have to keep your dogs on leash. Boudicca and Jules Verne had a Blast running around the woods while we stayed here. The majority of the trees are Madrone and I have always been fond of those trees. There is some poison oak to watch out for, but just a little here and there. Great spot for car camping!

There are many trails that you can go on at this state park. Like many have mentioned, the parking…read morelot is rather small and so it's best to arrive early. The parking lot can fill up and in that case, you will have to park farther down and walk to the trailhead. The earlier you start your hike, the more likely it wil be that you find parking, especially if you are going on a weekend. There are no bathrooms near the parking lot. There is also not a parking fee. We took the Table Rock Trail, which is about 4.4 miles total. It had amazing views. The trail has a rock labyrinth along the way that was fun to see. The trail is very rugged with lots of rocks the father you hike up this trail so come prepared with lots of water, hiking shoes, and dress in layers. The views from the top were amazing. There were areas with ice on the trail so be careful when hiking. There is a more popular trail to Mount Saint Helena that is very popular as well. We have not taken that trail yet, although plan to in the future. We will definitely be back at this state park and look forward to exploring the other trails.

If this doesn't feel like an adventure to you yet then find the hole in the safety fence, locate a rope that is tied around a tree and climb down to the little beach below. After all of that and your still feeling brave then enter the dark cave which leads you to the crashing waves. This cave would be absolutely perfect for some kind of sea monster movie because it is big enough for a giant sea serpent. I'm totally afraid of heights but I'm so glad that I was brave enough for this memorable adventure. Who said you can't rappel down to the sink hole wearing a pink pencil dress?

The directions on Yelp were perfect to find the trail - right behind Pt Arena city hall. We did not see much signage, nothing to flag the trail entrance. Just look for a wooden gate behind and on the right side of city hall; it looks closed but pushes open. The trail is skinny, so two people cannot walk abreast. After a nice forested start, the trail goes through lovely open fields. The views then open up to some tremendous coastal cliffs with crashing waves. We did not take it very far, as my knee was aching, so I decided to not push it. But it all looks wonderful, and look forward to returning and seeing more. We also stopped by the part of the open space by the Point Arena lighthouse. Turn onto lighthouse road, and it's 1.4 miles up the road on the left, a dirt parking area. Fantastic coastal scenery here, bring your camera. The first location remains relatively unknown, but on a summer weekday the lighthouse area had a decent number of people. (There is a single pit toilet at the lighthouse parking area, but no lock.)

I'd use…read morecaution when using a driving app to get here as we were led along a very narrow road through a local residential area with no room and switchbacks galore. Suffice it to say we saw a few locals along the way that seemed perplexed why we were driving very slowly through their neighborhood. I think that had to do with a bridge closure. Anyways... The return was not the same route thankfully. The park has for pay parking areas and what seemed to be free parking along the road to the park at your own risk. We found a spot in the paid lot ($10). Get a receipt, put it on your car's dashboard and off you go. There's a small welcome center and info at the entrance as well. The Redwoods are incredible here, some alive for 1400 plus years. You simply can't see the tops of the Redwoods from the ground. Truly incredible. The trails are well marked and it's highly discouraged to get off the trails as the environment is very ecologically sensitive. Unfortunately we saw some disregard for that. Stay on the trails people! You'll find placards noting interesting names and places along the way in addition to information about the flora and fauna. The history of the park and previous residents from indigenous peoples to the parks name sake are along the trail. It's an incredible park to visit and appreciate nature. The redwoods are incredible and certainly worth a visit.
