"Mount Saint Helena is located in Robert Louis Stevenson State Park. The hike follows the Stevenson Memorial Trail (named for author Robert Louis Stevenson who honeymooned here in 1880) for about a mile before turning on to the wide Mt. St. Helena Trail."
"The highest climbable peak in the Bay Area, this hike up Mount Saint Helena will give you a whole new perspective on Napa County. It's a heart-pumping five miles to the summit where you'll gain more than 2,000 feet of elevation but never fear, every time you need a break, those panoramic views will be there to keep you company."
"The Summit Trail to the top of Mount Diablo, the East Bay's tallest, hikeable peak, is notoriously challenging—especially in the heat of the summer. But despite the 2,000 foot+ climb, doing this hike in the cooler months is as visually spectacular as it is physically rewarding."
The Bay Area features several challenging peaks ideal for intense hiking workouts. Mount Saint Helena in Calistoga stands as the highest climbable peak at 4,342 feet, offering a 9.7-mile out-and-back hike with over 2,000 feet of elevation gain through Robert Louis Stevenson State Park. Mount Diablo in Walnut Creek reaches 3,849 feet with a 7-mile out-and-back Summit Trail featuring a 2,000-foot+ climb, best tackled during cooler months. Sonoma Mountain in Glen Ellen provides a 2,463-foot option. These hikes deliver comprehensive workouts while rewarding hikers with spectacular panoramic views and the satisfaction of conquering significant elevation gains.
