The best place to park is at N 38° 16.164 W 122° 16.545, at the Formal Gardens, before starting on the River to Ridge trail. You will be crossing the highway (there's a crosswalk).
The Bay Area Ridge Trail and Skyline Parks merge in this wilderness area. It borders the Syar Industries Quarry operations. Please stay away from the posted areas, there are some serious cliffs up here with sheer rock faces. It is A nice place to hike, bike or ride your horse. While I was up hiking Hardcore, a must do for Serious cachers, I ran into many vistas and sites along the way. Come up and grab some cache as an added incentive to do Hardcore and visit this wonderful wilderness area.
It can get hot out here so bring plenty of water. Bring your camera for some nice vista pics. There is plentiful wildlife in the area too. This cache is slightly off trail but if you select your deer trail wisely, it will not be too difficult. Watch for horses and mountain bikers, it is a well used trail. Park hours are 0900-1700 hours but the gate is always open. Use discretion if going after dark. This trail borders the Napa State Hospital for a small portion from the gate entrance about a quarter mile and is well fenced off, so stealth is required at night. Once past this limit, you are in open wilderness. Please read all posted materials at the entrance for further information of the area.
