🥾 This group is open to all ages and fitness levels, but you are responsible for determining if the hike is a fit for you.

READ EVERYTHING BELOW - NO CELL SERVICE AT THE PARK
When you arrive at the park and pay the admission fee at the kiosk, drive all the way to the back of the park until you cannot drive anymore. You will see picnic tables and parking near a chainlink fence. The trailhead is over a mile into the park from the Visitor's Center, so DO NOT PARK AT THE VISITOR'S CENTER unless you want a 1+ mile warm up hike.
Let’s spend a day under the towering giants of Armstrong Redwoods, where the sunlight filters through ancient branches and the air is fresh with the scent of the forest. We’ll wander the serene paved paths together, soaking in the beauty of trees that have stood for centuries, and share great conversation along the way. Bring your sense of wonder, a comfy pair of shoes, and let’s make some memories in one of California’s most magical groves.

Set out on this enchanting hike and discover a path where nature and history intertwine. Step into Napa’s pioneer era as you wander beneath shaded canopies, trace the footsteps of early settlers, and stand by a living piece of engineering history in action. It’s a surprisingly rich journey—past the mill, through memory, and amidst the redwoods. This moderate hike provides an overview of Napa Valley's pioneer history. The hike starts at the cemetery where much of the Donner Party is buried and ends at the Bale Grist Mill.

WE ARE NOT MEETING AT THE PARK - PLEASE SEE DETAILS BELOW ⬇️
Join me for a moderate (but steep) hike at Sonoma Coast State Park located between Jenner and Bodega Bay on Highway 1. We'll climb through emerald-canopied redwoods, where rhythmic fern fronds guide our steps upward. At the top, golden meadows stretch into the horizon—patches of grassy “islands in the sky” that float above sweeping views of the Russian River and the Pacific. It’s a trail that blends quiet forest magic with open-air grandeur—pure Sonoma Coast bliss.
