About Robert Louis Stevenson State Park

This undeveloped state park sits north of Calistoga and is known for its trails to the summit of Mount St. Helena. Hikers can reach overlooks of Napa, Sonoma and Lake counties. The landscape mixes shaded evergreen canyons with drier chaparral slopes. The park is also tied to author Robert Louis Stevenson, who honeymooned here in 1880, though no trace of his cabin remains. Dogs are not allowed, and collecting or destroying anything in the park is prohibited.
