Robert Louis Stevenson State Park commemorates the Scottish author's sojourn in Napa Valley in 1880, where he honeymooned in a now-vanished cabin. The park offers challenging trails that ascend Mount Saint Helena, the highest peak in the region, rewarding hikers with sweeping views of the Bay Area, Sierra Nevada, and on clear days, the Pacific Ocean. The main trail passes the site of Stevenson's cabin, marked by a plaque, and continues through diverse habitats. It's a must-visit for literary fans and avid hikers alike.

- Hike to the summit of Mount Saint Helena (4,343 ft) for 360-degree views.
- Visit the plaque marking the site of Robert Louis Stevenson's honeymoon cabin.
- Spot diverse flora and fauna along the trail, including wildflowers and raptors.
