ABOUT
Middletown, a historic stage stop midway between Calistoga and Lower Lake, is an excellent base from which to launch out-and-back bike tours that range from easy to difficult. The easier routes travel along sprawling vineyards and cattle ranches with the backdrop of Mount Saint Helena or Cobb Mountain. The more difficult routes involve negotiating steep hills that bring riders to mountain meadows dotted with oaks and pines. Most of the Big Canyon – Perini route is dirt roads.
