Seems I got there too early, as forecast-predicted clear sky only materialized in afternoon. Most of the way up was in quite windy, wet fog, so I miss all the beautiful view from the summit and most of the trail. However, pretty cold and windy weather made me go quicker than usual, so I reached the summit in just under 2 hours. Coming down weather started to improve, and I slowed down considerably taking time to look around. After previous hikes to Diablo and Tamalpais the St. Helena trail felt too short, so I went also to the other side on the Table Rock Trail (https://www.alltrails.com/explore/recording/afternoon-hike-738a00d?u=m&sh=rqntxq) to the Bear Rock Overlook and the Labyrinth – would definitely recommend that to explore the area, as from the overlook you can see Mount St. Helena in all its beauty and the other overlook before the Labyrinth has some great view too. But missing a lot of views I now I have a good reason to come back sometime to cover that up, will see!
