Originally planned to be on Casaval today, but conditions and forecast for Shasta did not cooperate. So, decided to go for a quick dayhike with the GF. Approximately 3 hours CTC, with decent views but hazy conditions and lots of people somewhat spoiled our fun.

Took my Boy Scout Troop to the top on a nice, but cold cloudy day.

Napa Highpoint
I made it to the Napa Highpoint, but because the summit was completely enclosed in the clouds, my motivation to make it to the summit dwindled as I was a bit sick of walking in the fog. I resolved to return to the main summit on a clear day, now that I've bagged the county HP.
Edit: I forget the date but I did return to the true summit at a later time.

W/Sierra Club
Sierra Club organized hike. Fun group of people. Remember it was hot hot hot. We also explored some of the old mining shafts/caves.
Walked up road. Nearly stepped on a rattle snake on the way down. foggy. OK views of Napa Valley and Thermal energy plant.

Nice hike
Nice, though a little boring, hike to the summit. Many high points to explore once you're on the top. The radio towers are a little ugly, but I think there is at least one on every peak and ridge in the Bay Area.

Quick up quick down, on a mild May midafternoon. Kinda hazy, not much views, but worth it nonetheless.
It was a very clear day. I could see Shasta, Lassen and I believe the Sutter Buttes. The views made up for the radio tower on top. The first mile of the hike was really pretty as well.
In many ways, this is THE mountain of the wine country. It looms over both Napa and Sonoma counties.

Superbowl Sunday
Hiked up with my cohp buddy Jeff. We were first on trail and made it home in time for the kickoff. Saw lots of people on the way down! The first mile of this hike is excellent single track. We enjoyed the fire road portion too as the views of napa valley are excellent. Hazy up top but saw, Cobb, Diablo, Tam, Lassen and Snow mtns. I'll do it again for conditioning.

Great views, bad parking
Reasonably quiet hike, took a little over 2 hours to reach the North Peak summit. Summit was very windy and pretty cold. Views were great, though pretty hazy. Could easily see Cobb and Mt. Diablo. Barely visible were the snow-capped Sierras and the SF skyline. Luckily I got to the mountain early, cause the parking along 29 is packed by mid-day, and a pain to get out of sometimes.

some time ago
I don't quite remember the date but it was when I was living in the Santa Rosa area during the '90's.
Started at 7am just as the sun rose. The nice weather lasted until I reached the saddle, when the clouds rolled in and the temperature dropped to 38 degrees F! Some patches of snow at the top but it's mostly gone.
