Westwood Hills Park

There are several different great trails at Westwood Hills and quite steep at certain points so you'll get a good workout. Small parking lot at the base but if it's full there's plenty of street parking as well. A couple of picnic tables are also at the base along with a nature museum. Definitely bring water with you as there are no water spouts/fountains on any of the trails. Closed toed shoes are a must as possion ivy is present along with blackberry bushes. Most of the trails provide plentry of shade and pretty foliage. Views of the whole Napa Valley await you at the top (with a couple of benches to take a nice rest). Some days a layer of fog will sit above the valley but that usually burns off by late morning. You'll come across lots of dogs and kids so this place is good for all.

Peaceful hiking trail that is mostly uphill. Choosing the Summit Trail, you will arrive at the Vista Point. There are benches to enjoy the view before making your way back down.

What a wonderful park! Easy to park the Sprinter van, put on my boots and go for a fabulous morning walk. Sadly, too overcast this morning to enjoy the view . But the trails are pretty well traveled so I wasn't concerned about getting lost. Other folks hiking were friendly and there are spot along the way to sit and enjoy the greenery. Leashed dogs are permitted.On a Sunday morning, extremely peaceful. Yes, there are some port-a-potties but that's about it. Plan ahead.[Review 21005 overall - 522 in California - 1990 of 2023.]

Love this spot for hiking! Much of it is uphill and the views at the top are worth the effort! During rainy season please be aware of the slippery conditions

Great hiking spot in Napa!!! Nice views at the top and the beginning starts with a big incline.

Okay, this hike was a hilarious adventure and disaster all in one. Not well-marked, full of those Velcro-style plants, my sister-in-law and I somehow meandered off trail to this trail alongside a fence that, it turned out, was not a trail at all. Ended up carrying my dog up a straight-up steep hill to find the opening finally onto a real trail. Thank goodness we were okay! This park needs better-marked trails, but I will admit: it made for a hilarious experience. Check out my Velcro plant-covered pants. You can only imagine what my dog looked like (cut to two hours of picking through his fur).

A great place to hike and go birding in Napa, especially if you enjoy some shade along the trail.

Westwood Hills Park is such a wonderful hidden gem. The hills are nice and steep, and there's plentiful tree coverage, which results in most of the trails being shaded and cool. The trails are well maintained. The view from the top is an incredible, sweeping view of Napa, and there are benches you can sit on to rest and take in all the beauty. The parking lot is often full, but I typically run into only a few other hikers or runners. It often feels like you're on your own private trail, which is relaxing, and they get bonus points from me for being dog friendly. Heads up to doggo owners: there are a lot of foxtails along the various trails during the spring and summer, so be careful where your furry friend treads.

I didn't know what to expect when exploring this place. It starts with some uphills and trails that break off pretty early (lots of choices!) there wasn't really a map and there were some markers but most without names or info. We stayed on the path to go straight (and uphill) until we found a sign that said "trail". Kept going up and sure enough there were some cool views of Napa and some benches to take a break. Descending back down, we took a variety of trails, up and down, through the woods and in the sun. I thoroughly enjoyed the variety! I'd welcome going back and to try other trails. Parking is very limited (parking lot)There is side road parkingOne portable potty - no hand wash area. There was a hand sanitizer dispenser but it was empty. We did see a few dogs (please pick up after your fur kids)Wear a mask, there are some narrow trails/paths

We hiked here today with the pup for about 45 minutes. There were nice views, it wasn't crowded and they had a water fountain for the dogs! It starts on a wide fire trail and then smaller trails branch off. We didn't know where to go so we just walked! It worked out that we made our way back to the car. I don't think it would be easy to get too lost here. It was a great workout.
