Wine country keeps its waterfalls quiet, and Napa has ten of them within fifty miles. Linda Falls is the near one, an easy mile up at Angwin with dogs allowed. Green Valley Falls toward Fairfield adds a swimming hole after winter rain. The Marin group waits an hour southwest, where Cataract Falls climbs 750 feet in 2.6 miles and Dawn Falls goes 2.7 with 400 feet of gain. Rainbow Falls barely requires walking at all. Come between December and April, when the creeks are honest.
