Description
Find your own journey. California is well suited to a holiday where the road between stops helps shape the experience. This guide brings together 33 road trips, from short excursions to longer journeys, with ideas that make it tempting to take a detour.
Experiences and content. Taste your way through Napa and Sonoma, discover small towns such as Nevada City and Arcata, or find film-history sites in San Diego and the Eastern Sierra. Each route provides maps and advice on distance, duration, timing, and connections to other drives. Coverage spans Northern, Central, and Southern California, with stops that leave room for nature, food, and small-town life alike.
Who is this book suitable for? This guide suits those who want suggestions for the drive itself, rather than just a general guide to the state. Use the routes as a starting point and choose the legs and detours that fit the time you have available.
From inspiration to your own plan. Use the guide before departure to pick out a few experiences you really want, and see them in context with the rest of the trip. A journey with fewer stops can give you more time to get to know each place. Browse through it with your travel companions, compare ideas, and find a balance between what you want to cover and what you want time to enjoy.
A physical book is also nice to return to along the way during planning. Bring it out when discussing the next leg, find an idea you had noted, and let the plan develop as you get to know the options better.
