Day 5 - Calistoga to Duncans Mills

Thursday's route heads for the famous Sonoma wine region via delightful back roads then north to the Jimtown Store and into and the world famous Dry Creek Valley. You'll enjoy two winery rest stops today! So after a sample or two, have the Sag van carry your purchases to camp so you can enjoy the Russian River towns of Rio Nido, Guerneville and Monte Rio while marveling at the mighty Sequoia Sempervirons en route to our camp beside the Russian River in Duncans Mills. If you arrive in Guerneville early enough, consider taking a ~5 mile round trip detour to Armstrong Redwoods Park, a great place to eat a picnic lunch or just ride through the majestic trees. There is a non-supported "hard" option available today that tackles the challenging and steep Sweetwater Rd. Option A bypasses the second rest stop and adds ~1000 ft of gain in the same 59 mile distance.
