Coppertone and I were in the area to get flu shots so we stopped by to log a hike at this little park.  We had noticed it while doing an organized bike ride some time back and we finally checked it off today.

The small parking lot was empty when we arrived and we only saw one other person on the trail during our visit.  The foliage did a decent job of blocking some of the road noise and we were able to enjoy the sound of the Napa River where it was tumbling over some rocks here and there.

There's only about a mile of trail here, so it did not take long to map everything out.  We spent some time looking at leaves and acorns and trying to ID a few plants.  There is a "plant loop" where some plants have signage indicating what they are.
