Berryessa Peak Potential Wilderness : "The Berryessa Peak proposed wilderness is perched atop Blue Ridge and Rocky Ridge, the easternmost spur of the Coast Range on the edge of the Central Valley. The deceptively gentle top of the ridge runs north to south against the valley skyline, and it stands out in sharp contrast to the extremely rugged canyons cutting across it from the east and west." |
Napa/Yolo County |

Cache Creek Proposed Wilderness: "A land of deep canyons and steep ridges graced with oak woodlands, grasslands, chaparral, streamside forest, groves of gray pine, and other important lowelevation habitats.
