Editorial Reviews

Review

Napa offers a rare pairing of wine and wilderness. The climate and topography that make the region so ripe for viticulture also have created misty forests, petrified trees, striking rock formations, and peaks with sweeping views of the vineyards. "The hiking in Napa Valley is phenomenal," said Ken Stanton . . . "There are places that still look like they did a hundred years ago." --Kermit Pattison in the New York Times, June 8, 2007

The valley offers outstanding hiking. Reading these engrossing descriptions makes you feel as if you're on a guided tour. --Sunset --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

This review is from: Great Day Hikes in & Around Napa Valley (Paperback)

The wine tasting is only one of many activities in Napa.

Wonderful green rolling hills are great for hiking.

This is a great book for anyone looking for hiking trails around there.
