Napa Valley




World Famous Napa Valley.



North of Napa is the Town of Calistoga. There is no other town like it in California.



Beautiful vineyard in the lush valley.



Mission San Francisco Solano. In the town square in Sonoma, CA.


A horse wandering the vineyards on the way to Calistoga California.


Bale Girst Mill. Circa 1846.  St. Helena California.  It was once the center of social activity as Napa Valley settlers gathered to have their corn and wheat ground into meal or flour. The owner of the mill was Dr. Edward Turner Bale. He received the property in a land grant from the Mexican government.


The Devil's Garden.

Chico. The City of Trees


 This small rock formation on the top of the hill is called Monkey Face.  Its a short and steep hike to the top and the view is impressive for the quick walk up.
