Visit the Midway Memorial Hill
ScenicEasySpringSummerYear-round
Take a short walk up this historic hill for a 360-degree view of the valley’s patchwork of farms and fall colors.
Itinerary tips

- 2Access the trailhead via a small, paved parking area located just off River Road on the north side of the hill.
- 3Bring a light windbreaker even on sunny days, as the summit is exposed and often significantly breezier than the valley floor.
- 4Use the paved path for an easy stroll, or take the dirt switchbacks if you prefer a slightly more rugged feel.
- 5Combine this visit with a stop at the nearby Homestead Crater for a soak to fill out a half-day itinerary.
- 6Pack a camera or binoculars to spot the dairy farms and Swiss-style architecture across the Midway landscape.
