Boozy Trail, 7.4mi

This route has a little bit of everything packed into a shorter distance, making it a good challenge for intermediate athletes and a quick yet fun workout for experienced runners. The longest version of the run starts at the Bale Grist Mill (a shorter 5-mile route can start at the parking lot of Bothe-Napa State Park) on Hwy 29 just North of St. Helena in Napa Valley.

Start out on the History Trail, climbing gently through the Napa oak woodlands as you head North into Bothe-Napa Park. The trail passes through the Bothe-Napa campground after one mile, but stay by the stream and follow the signs for Redwood Trail so you won't get turned around. Cruise up the cool, shady trail for two miles until the trail merges with the Ritchey Creek Trail and crosses the creek a second time. Turn on the power to climb 300+ feet on the well trodden but potentially muddy singletrack until you hit the Spring Trail at mile 3.5. This is the halfway point. Turn left on the Spring Trail and open up your stride to build some speed along the flat, blissfully curvy singletrack that cuts silently through the deep redwoods. Stay high on the side of the ridge to pick up the Coyote Peak Trail as it swings out of the forest and rounds rocky Coyote summit. Stay nimble as the trail then shoots down a steep gully from the peak and re-connects with the Redwood Trail that you came in on. Turn right and re-trace your steps on the all-out fast return 1.5 miles. Source
