Skyline Trail

Our RV park is called Vineyard RV Park because we are located right on the edge of the Napa Valley. Today we ventured into Napa and viewed the vineyards covering the hills; many of the vines turning fall colors. On the border of the Napa town limits is Skyline Wilderness Park.

We decided on an out-and-back to Lake Marie. About two miles up the trail we had this nice view of the Napa Valley. Those are vineyards in the middle of the picture. (Click to make larger.)

Interesting trees along the trail.

The trail climbs up a southwest canyon wall and then contours along a steep slope for over 3 miles before arriving at Lake Marie.

Lake Marie is held by an earthen dam seen in this lunch picture.

On the way back the view became quite hazy.
