See the Wine Country by goat |
4762 Petrified Forest Rd (Happy Hollow Ranch) Napa Valley, CA 94515 United States +1 510 644 1600 |
This outfit will take you and a friendly pack-carrying goat out for a two-hour hike in the hills overlooking Calistoga and the Napa Valley. The goats can carry 35 pounds, more than enough for water, wine, picnic and video equipment. And, goats insist on a moderate pace, comfortable for any level hiker. The tour guides emphasize stopping, looking and listening to the quiet goings-on of nature. Prices vary; call for further information. Review © 2007, Wcities |
