INTRO
Another challenging Napa County climb is Dry Creek Road/Trinity Road East (Dry Creek becomes Trinity Road a little over halfway up the climb). This ascent is almost a match for Trinity Road West (2.9 miles west vs. 2.7 miles east and 8.8% west vs. 8.3% east). There is more shade on the east side and, apparently because it is in Napa County, the road is a bit smoother. There are a few hairpin turns which are fun going up and down, but be careful as this road also has trucks and wine tasting folks going to/from Napa. When added to a Mt. Veeder Road loop, Dry Creek is a stinger of a climb.
7.6% average grade. 31% of the climb is at 10-15%. The steepest quarter-mile is 12.6%.

Roadway: This is a two lane rural mountain road in good condition with a double yellow line and no shoulder.
Traffic: Light to moderate.
Parking: The best place to park if you are doing any of the climbs in this area is just off Dry Creek Road on Mt. Veeder Road, 7/10ths of a mile east of the start of the climb (Map; Street View).
Provisions: None on the climb - food and beverages can be found at either in Yountville at the Oakville Grocery-Deli in Napa County four miles east (Map), or at the Glen Ellen Market nine miles west of the start (Map) - both are exceptional (Google Map + Reviews Glen Ellen Market; Google Map + Reviews Oakville Grocery).

Nice short wooded climb with mostly good pavement. Some traffic with no shoulder but they give you enough space.
