There’s still enough runoff from the #Mayacamas mountains to create this wonderful little #waterfall and pool in the Napa creek near downtown Napa.

One of my favorite roads in wine country. This nasty gravel/dirt road runs along the Napa/Sonoma border separating the Mt Veeder AVA and the Moon Mountain AVA. 4WD helps, ground clearance necessary. First photo is a view to the north, and the second is the view at the end of the road. #napa #SonomaValley #Mayacamas #dirtroad #SkyVineyards #HannaBismarkKnob #RandomRidge
