The area is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitnapavalley.com\/listing\/alston-park\/327\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alston Park<\/a>. It is a\u00a0park that the locals have been hiking for years. If you feel like you have had too much of the good life of the Napa Valley and a little exercise is in order, Alston Park is an excellent choice.<\/p>\n<p>Within less than a mile of hiking, there are great views of the Napa Valley. The trails lead into beautiful meadows and woodland forests. There are side attractions of amazing homes and beautiful vineyards. If you are a <strong>trail runner<\/strong>, this is a fantastic place to do a morning run.<\/p>\n<p>Alston Park is a Napa City Park. There are trail guides posted at the entrances but no hard copy to take with you. To get to the park, take a left at Trower Road from Highway 29 in Napa. Drive to the end of Trower to Dry Creek Road. There are two entrances on Dry Creek Road, about a mile apart. The south entrance is an area where dogs can run free. Take the north entrance where dogs must be on a leash. There are a few benches and tables scattered throughout the park and packing in a lunch is a very good idea on a beautiful day. \u00a0Rules often change so always check the <a href=\"https:\/\/media.wix.com\/ugd\/51100c_514f2725300d4b10b1e50d8feb366144.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Napa Parks Website for the latest hiking information<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After your hike, head to one of the many great wine trails in the Napa Valley.
