North Sonoma Mountain Regional Park 5297 Sonoma Mountain Road, Santa Rosa, CA 95404

"Great hike up the hill with fantastic views over the valley at different points. Nice mix of shade and sun and the babbling brook is a great start. Herd of deer and flock of wild turkeys made it interesting and the sound of the gross in the pond was relaxing."

"Hiked here with friends. Great hike with a mix of sun and shade. Pretty view. I'm not giving it 5 stars because they don't allow dogs, but they allow horses. Clearly no horse riders clean up from the horses, and dog doo is miniscule compared to horse poo that we saw along the trail. We saw lots of pretty wildflowers along the hike, a wild turkey, and a couple of Jack rabbits. Our friends, who have hiked there before, have seen deer too."

"It's very pretty place to walk in the Spring time. Benches along the way can be quite steep so a nice place to stop and rest for a moment And to take some stunning pictures. after we did our hike we decided to go up to the umbrella trail to the umbrella tree and don't be fooled by the fire road, it is a pretty steep rough walk up but when you get to the top it is very worth it!!!! one of the best views in Sonoma County by far."

"Great place to hike and explore. Multiple trails, the the trail to Umbrella Tree is a steep trail but plenty of shade to rest and it is well worth it. Once you get towards the end your in the sun and almost to the top. Parking is avaliable and restroom avaliable."

"Better than expected. Lived in sonoma county for over 20 years and never knew this park. It was quiet, not crowded, good work out going uphill and good amount of shades from redwood trees. It was about 25 minutes from Petaluma. 0.8 mile uphill hike was just good enough for me. Great view of sonoma county cities. Great local park."
