Exploring Skyline Wilderness Park
By Lauren A.
The Skyline Wilderness Park sits at the foothills of the Napa Valley and encompasses 850 acres of stunning nature and wildlife. The park includes 25 miles of trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding—and there’s also a lake at the end of a 2.5 mile trail.
The trail difficulty ranges from easy to advanced, but the more difficult routes pay off with expansive views of the San Francisco Bay, Mt. Tamalpais, and Mt. Diablo.
While you’ll have to leave your dog at home, the park is equipped with grills, an RV park, and plenty of space for camping.
