Bartholomew Park Trails (Sonoma Vicinity)
Another trail with panoramic views of Sonoma and the Bay, from easy-to-reach vista points, is the outer loop in Bartholomew Park (just behind Bartholomew Park Winery). It is a little over a mile and a half walk or drive to Bartholomew Park from Sonoma Plaza.
There are several loop routes on these grounds, ranging from about one and three quarters to two miles in length. There is a descriptive signboard posted at each of the gated entrances to the trails.
The grade is moderately easy with occasional steep sections that are mostly articulated with curbed steps. Several shaded spots and vista points are furnished with benches. This network of trails is opened seasonally during posted Park hours – closed during the rainy season. Hiking boots are definitely recommended.
