From the issue Wine Country Less Traveled
Napa Valley High
A secret awaits just eight miles north of Calistoga on Highway 29. We’re not talking exclusive cabernets. This is the entrance to the Table Rock Trail — and some of wine country's most awesome views. The easy two-mile hike (four miles round-trip) takes you through the woods of Robert Louis Stevenson State Park and up to the moonscape Table Rock, a 200-foot volcanic cliff. Here you’ll be rewarded with a postcard panorama of southern Napa Valley. And that rare cab? Bring it along. It’ll taste even better at this altitude.
Directions: Follow the directions to Mount St. Helena, but take the trail on the east side of Highway 29. For more information (707-942-4575)
