Confirmed from Westwood Hills Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Home to the Carolyn Parr Nature Museum, this park also has miles of trails through groves & meadows.

Great hike, fantastic view and good workout. This trail brings you to a breathtaking view point to the west of the city of Napa. The trail is well kept, nice, clear, clean. Saw some people with their young kids just enjoying the weather.
