Wildflowers of Oat Hill Mine Trail

Right now is the height of wildflower viewing in Napa County. The following pictures were all taken on the Oat Hill Mine Trail over the last 4 years. The amount and variety of flowers varies significantly from year to year, this year being about average. So, pour a glass of Pinot, dim the lights, put your feet up, and enjoy. Whoo-hoo!
