About us

Welcome to Napa Valley Hikers!

We host beginner and moderate level hikes once a month typically on Saturday mornings around Napa Valley.

A moderate level hike is generally two to four miles with moderate terrain and a cumulative elevation change of 250' to 500' per trail ratings.

Please Note:
🥾 Plan to arrive on time. We will wait 10 minutes and then set out on the hike.
🥾 If you are running late or can’t find Lisamarie, please leave a message on the event page. I monitor this page as the event begins.
🥾 This group is open to all ages and fitness levels, but you are responsible for determining if the hike is a fit for you.
🥾 Hosting Meetup groups costs $360/year. If you feel led to contribute to the cost of the group, I am on Venmo and Zelle at lisamarie@paperandglam.com.

Join us for an exploration of some of the lesser traveled but equally scenic areas of Monte Rio Redwoods and Islands in the Sky! This challenging 12 mile route features lots of uphill climbing but also plenty of redwood forest shade (and viewpoints).
Starting from the Freezeout gate, we head up the road to the Box Springs trail and then climb to Monte Rio Road along the spine of the ridge. After an out and back to Starret Hill and West Pole, we loop back through Sound of Music and follow the newly accessible Fern Springs route out to Islands and back to the start.

This will be a joint event with the Sea and Mountain hiking group and parking is difficult, so we're limiting attendees this time around.
