May is another fabulous month in Sonoma County. Unlike areas to the south or east, Sonoma County is green and springlike throughout may. With longer days it's easy to hike/bike until 730 pm or so and there are still plenty of wild flowers around. The evenings are a bit cool which is a good excuse to fire up the wood stove. On my "things to do" page, swimming the Russian river is still not an option, but hiking and biking and driving around seeing the sights are even better. If you are up for a challenge, a day hike starting at Bullfrog Pond above Armstrongs Grove into the Austin Creek State Recreational Area would be super pretty in may. Plan on taking all day for that one and feel free to curse me on the way up Panorama grade! Straggle in to the Union Hotel around 7 pm for a huge dinner! Sign me up! You can also mountain bike in there which is even better. I would not recommend this trip in the summer months as it can be quite hot.
