A great hike, with potential for a view and/or TOTAL WORKOUT is easily available just a short drive from the Moonridge Golf Course.

Head into Sand Canyon. Be sure you have your Adventure Pass…
At the hairpin, back up and park under the trees. Walk right in. (MAP)

If you follow the footpath, it will take you to a crossroad. Going left/north along the road is the easiest walk, until you realize it is a 2-lane stairclimb to the top of the hill.
Going up the ravine directly across to the East takes you to a ridge and VERY steep climb from there on to the South.
Well, so does the South road.
The West heading footpath follows the side of the hill and winds in and out among some very big boulders.

Many people have used these trails for their workouts, as it only gets steeper as you rise. I guarantee a great view if you persevere and follow one of the ridges. Just keep the ravine behind you, or you may return in the next valley.

The first evening we got there, we had these incredible dark clouds with the sun still illuminating the rock walls.

This ride starts on private property but my parents obtained permission to cross through a friend of the owner. The route follows an old wagon road which goes over the mountains between Aetna Springs and Calistoga.
