I am ashamed to say that I've sort of left things to the last minute. We're going to Yountville for Thanksgiving weekend (tomorrow). All I've done is arrange dinners and book a hotel. I live in San Francisco but I haven't been up to the Napa area in quite a while. Are there any good hikes or scenic walks to take? I'm a runner and I love beautiful trail runs. Any little museums, contemporary art galleries, or historical sites to visit? Other interesting things to do in Yountville/Napa and nearby?
Usually I am an overplanner but somehow things got away from me this time. I'm sure we'll muddle through but if anyone has any tips or suggesions, I'd love to hear them.
Have a great Thanksgiving, all!

There's the mud baths in Calistoga.
Sonoma would provide more history, both in the town and going to the Jack London Historic State Park. In the latter, the walk to the ruins of the Wolf House is pleasant.
Thanks, Michael. Now that it looks like we'll be having nice weather in Northern California for the next few days, long walks/hikes appeal.
You can run on one of the local roads leading out of Sonama - for a nice distance. Can't tell you exactly which one but it leads to a nice few local branches roads (sort of in a NE direction?) - where there are some small ranches, where my Brother in Law had a place.
Again, sorry about the sparse directions - but you have to go up a little hill.
You could also rent canoes and go down the Russian River.
The nice road between Napa and Sonoma is the Oakville grade (so called on the Napa side) which is close to Glen Ellen on the other side of the range between the two valleys.
