About us
Welcome to Napa Valley Hikers!
We host beginner and moderate level hikes once a month typically on Saturday mornings around Napa Valley.
A moderate level hike is generally two to four miles with moderate terrain and a cumulative elevation change of 250' to 500' per trail ratings.
Please Note:
🥾 Plan to arrive on time. We will wait 10 minutes and then set out on the hike.
🥾 If you are running late or can’t find Lisamarie, please leave a message on the event page. I monitor this page as the event begins.
🥾 This group is open to all ages and fitness levels, but you are responsible for determining if the hike is a fit for you.
🥾 Hosting Meetup groups costs $360/year. If you feel led to contribute to the cost of the group, I am on Venmo and Zelle at lisamarie@paperandglam.com.

Join us for a loop through Armstrong Redwoods and a visit to Austin Creek State Recreation Area!
Starting from the Armstrong parking lot we take the East Ridge trail up the hill to the ridge overlooking the beautiful Austin Creek watershed, which will likely be blooming with wildflowers. We’ll explore some of the side trails in this area, such as the East Ridge trail, with great views in all directions. And from there we head down the Pool Ridge trail into the heart of Armstrong Redwoods, past the Armstrong Tree (oldest tree in the park) and Parson Jones tree (the tallest).
This will be a joint event with the Sea and Mountain hiking group so we're limiting it to ten attendees this time around.

- MEETING TIME: 8:30 AM, since parking is limited and this small lot fills up fast on weekends. We will depart at 8:40. Parking in the lot is $10 unless you have state park pass. You can also park along the side of the road outside the gate for free.
- MEETING SPOT: We will meet in front of the Armstrong Woods visitor center.
- RESTROOMS: At the start and finish of the route, and at the foot of the Pool Ridge trail. Last time I was at Bullfrog the restrooms there were closed.
- GEAR: Bring plenty of water and snacks. Dress in layers - we'll probably have AM fog and lots of shade but portions of this route are exposed to the sun. Poles will be useful.
