Seven Perfect Days in Northern California: A Guided Driving Tour [2nd Ed]

This handy guide book contains everything travelers will need to fully enjoy a week in Northern California: a carefully-crafted itinerary, detailed maps to show the way, a variety of activities which sample the best of Northern California, as well as recommended accommodations and restaurants. There is also information on what to wear and bring, Northern California facts, historical events and resources, helpful books, health tips, and what to do if you have kids along. The authors guide readers through a circular tour which begins in San Francisco, continues to Monterey-Carmel, Yosemite National Park, the Gold Country, Lake Tahoe, Sacramento, and ends in the Wine Country. Along the way, readers will enjoy scenic drives, the Monterey Aquarium, interesting museums, historic buildings, cable car, boat and gondola rides, wine tasting, and learning historical tidbits about each area visited. The authors share plenty of options on where to go, what to do, and where to eat and sleep--and suggestions for shorter tours if readers don't have seven days. This is the only resource that's needed, but the book points to other helpful information. A unique feature of this book is that it points to the authors' website, which provides links to most attractions, lodgings and restaurants mentioned in the book--allowing one-stop choosing while planning the trip.
