Description

Skyline Wilderness Park near Napa is a fun park with a number of challenging and technical trails (mostly on the northeast side) and smoother singletrack sections (southwest).

Manzanita / Marie Creek / Chaparral (and Rim Rock) trails are the most challenging and feature some shortish but brutal climbs (techy descents in the other direction), with plenty of drops and rocky sections spread over it. And Buckeye and Skyline trails (the latter part of the Bay Area Ridge trail) are rolling and flowy with good views on Napa Valley and Lake Marie.
