Skyline Trails

The Skyline Trails, located near Napa, are a complex of mountain biking trails that are vigorously maintained by a volunteer force to ensure the best riding conditions possible.

The Skyline Trails complex features several trails that offer great mountain biking, including Marie Creek Trail, Skyline Trail, Manzanita Trail and Chaparral Trail. The singletrack of the Skyline Trails traverses open hillsides that explode with wildflowers during late spring and early summer months. The Skyline Trails have sections of technical riding with rock and root gardens and loose gravel.

A map of the Skyline Trails is recommended due to the number of trails in the area. Hikers and horses are a common sight along the Skyline Trails and dogs are not allowed. A fee is charged for use.
