The actual trail starts from the dunes and by the end, you will reach the state park. The trail is lengthy, but if we could complete it with flying colours, that means anybody can do it. The overlook is awesome, and the view is enhanced with a lot of beautiful submerged rocks in the ocean. There are arch shaped ones, and some are like South American pyramids. Dogs are allowed, and so do the horses.

Amazing trail! While it is mostly shaded you’ll be exposed to the sun once you reach the top but it will be worth it. You’ll see vineyards, mountains and the city. There is a tad of elevation but nothing crazy. Nice fragrant flowers along the way and there’s parking.

Gentle trail to a pretty meadow near the top of the hill. Lovely views of Sonoma. A variety of habitats will bring lots of spring wildflowers.

Great hike. Fantastic view from the top. Bring water as it gets pretty warm during the afternoon.

We hike in December at Christmas and it was slightly damp, but still very nice. Obviously, a bit colder at the top.
