Comments:

The first of several trails Coppertone and I hiked in Napa today. The paved paths here are all paved and easy to traverse. An extra benefit is the informational kiosks that provide a bit of information on both the history and natural aspects of the area.

At one point the trail disappeared, having collapsed into the Napa River. Extensive winter rains have caused widespread numerous fallen trees and landslides, of which this is but one example. Temporary safety fencing has been placed around the perimeter of the slide as is a mulched path showing the short detour.

Along one segment of the trail an exorbitant number of park boundary signs were lined up about every 20 feet. The placement seems excessive and unnecessary given the eight foot barbed wire fence a short distance behind the Maginot Line of signs.
