This hike is an easy drive from Sacramento/Davis CA. In fact, it is a beautiful drive just to get to this location. Take Highway 128 and if you get to a damn, you went about a 1/4 mile too far. Above is the parking lot which is usually pretty empty, but on good days, it can get pretty full. You will most likely run into people on this trail that includes everything from climbing up rocks, stairs, and switchbacks. Great views from the top of Lake Berryessa. The first part of the hike is mostly covered, but be careful hiking in the summer here as you can get pretty hot and exposed for 2/3 of the hike. Good easy day hike. The signs indicate that this is a 5 mile hike. March 2013
My blog is intended to be an informative guide for hiking and backpacking. While books and official sites are helpful, I am always left with a sense of uncertainty about the adventure. I figured it would be helpful to have a little more qualitative data and some pictures to help inform your choices. I also hope to share my adventures with friends and family who wonder what I do with my time. Suggestions on places to hike or what to include in my blog would be much appreciated! Enjoy!

Nice photos! Early spring is the prettiest time of the year at Cold Canyon. The Blue Ridge Loop Trail provides some of the best hiking in Solano County.
