Natural areas with miles of hiking trails are rare in Napa Valley. In south Napa, there is only one: Skyline Wilderness Park. This area allows us to lose ourselves in nature in a way that we simply cannot do in Alston Park or Westwood Hills. Additionally, people come from all over California to enjoy these trails in different ways. It is a legacy that we need to leave for our children and it is being threatened by adjacent mining interests that will flatten hills and destroy  ecosystems.
