Morning fog thins over a hillside trail as you step into the cool, resin-scented air — redwoods on one side, vine rows opening like patchwork below. The hike begins quietly: a 3–4 mile loop of singletrack and fire road that climbs and levels through mixed oak and forest, rewarding you with broader vineyard views and the distant peaks of Mount St. Helena.
