Hood Mountain Reopens
Fort Ross Environmental Living Program
60 - www.sonomacountygazette.com - 5/18
The Pythian Road entrance to Hood Mountain Regional Park is open! We’ve restored access to nearly all the trails closed after October’s wildfire. These include trails leading from Pythian Road to the mountain’s 2,700- foot summit and Gunsight Rock.
The opening gives hikers their first opportunity to see how fire affected the southern half of the park - and how it’s healing.
