Ascent Trip ReportWe followed the route as described by Dennis Poulin on his comprehensive Summitpost page. http://www.summitpost.org/mountain/rock/284640/sonoma-mountain.html
A lovely hike through the redwoods to a disappointing summit. Clear views to the ocean and across Sonoma valley as compensation. Fleeting bobcat sighting on the descent.
Jack London State Historic Park was interesting in itself and so was the wine tasting in Sonoma after the hike..
Climbed with my work colleagues Brian O'Neill and Gaudenz von Capeller on a spare day during a business trip from Switzerland to San Francisco.
