Berryessa Snow Mountain, California
San Francisco is only 100 miles away. But Berryessa Snow Mountain feels far more distant, and much wilder.
A half-million acre portion of Northern California’s Inner Coast Range, it offers pleasures like steep, oak-dotted hillsides,
rushing creeks, and wildlife such as bald eagles and tule elk. Groups like Winters-based Tuleyome are pushing for its protection,
as national monument or as part of the National Landscape Conservation System.
You can access existing Snow Mountain Wilderness from the little town of Maxwell, off I-5. For directions and road conditions,
contact the Mendocino National Forest office in Willows: (530) 934-3316.
