Walking Distance: 2.6 miles
Walking Time: 54 min. (7:08 - 8:02 p.m.)
Start and Stop Point: Unpaved, gravel parking area, ("Formal Garden" sign), picnic area, Napa College area, close to intersection of Streblow and Roy Patrick Drive, Napa, CA
Streblow Drive runs West-East (shown as a purple line on map, above right) and forms the Western half of the River-to-Ridge Trail which is roughly perpendicular to the Bay Trail. This trail is bisected by Highway 221 (double yellow lines on map). I walked the Western half of the River-to-Ridge trail, i.e. the River-to-Highway 221 portion. It was a pleasure to see so many birds near the Napa River and at the large pond area (that played host to many ducks and geese).
I first walked West to the Napa River, and then turned around and walked East - until I came to Highway 221. After crossing Highway 221, to see where the "Ridge" portion of the trail started, and what it looked like (see picture, below right), I turned around and walked back to the car.
