Conquering Bald Mountain

Haha, well, it didn't really take much conquering spirit to reach the summit of Bald Mountain (at least in terms of bravado and daring), but it did take some coaxing of our dormant leg muscles to haul ourselves up the trail! The visual reward at the top, though, was worthy of our effort. Here are some images of the hike and Sonoma/Napa...



(There's a vineyard on that hill in the middle!)
It was about 80* in the sun, but that stiff, cool ocean breeze put a chill on our sweaty skin at the top. Layers are crucial!

We stopped at Kaz Vineyard & Winery on the way home.. good wine, good times!


We got the idea for this trip from Weekend Sherpa -- our new best friend!

When I come visit we can work something like this into the itinerary?

I also meant to say beautiful!

OF COURSE! The only challenge is figuring out which of the hundreds of options to choose... which I kind of hate saying, because I used to glower at the bastards who say things like that. But it's true! And if you don't hate me, you can visit and enjoy it ;]

Oh, and our neighbors spend a lot of time in Sonoma, so they have a lot of gems to share.. amazing low-key tastings, beautiful views, all the goods. Fun!
