| Labor Day 2016. Onions and I headed to the northern end of the Napa Valley into Robert Louis Stevenson State Park to hike Table Rock. It's that rectangular chunk about 1/3 from the left edge of the photo. |
 |
| The hike was pretty easy and started with some nice views across the Napa Valley. I love the dry, golden grass that comes with lack of rain. |
 |
| About a mile in is a pile of rocks, which according to our guidebook, called the Devil's Sofa. |
 |
| Further along, someone has some extra time on their hands... |
 |
| Our first sighting of Table Rock from the trail. |
 |
| And here we are. It's just a huge, flat, volcanic surface. |
 |
| That outcropping on the left, not the right angle, is called "the Rhino". And in the distance, is the town of Calistoga. |
 |
| Our treat at the end of the day.....a mud bath. First, sit in the volcanic mud for 12 minutes.....then a shower. |
 |
| Followed by 15 minutes in a hot mineral bath. The treatment finishes with 5 minutes in the steam room and then 20 minutes of laying in a dark room. With the mud bath treatment, we also got to use the outdoor pool! |
