Hiking, Scenic Walks

 

Scenic Drives

Cavedale Road is a single lane road and not for the faint of heart.  However, Cavedale offers spectacular views and gorgeous country side.  Pick it up by taking a left at the Volunteer Fire Station just down Trinity Road, and follow it to Hwy 12 (~9 miles, about 30 minutes).  Watch for views of San Francisco!

Spring Mountain – Drive the loop over Spring Mountain, linking Hwy 12 and Rte 29.  Drive up Napa Valley and back down through Sonoma (or visa versa!).  Hint: Pack a picnic lunch, make an appointment at Pride Vineyards, and enjoy the day!

Warm Springs Road – If you are looking to get back to civilization and don’t want to take Highway 12, Warm Springs Rd/Bennett Valley Road is a great alternative.  It will eventually drop you on Route 101 in Rohnert Park (south of Santa Rosa).  The drive offers farms, wineries, and country homes.
