Travel to Northern California Napa Valley
Just north of San Francisco in Northern California is
Napa Valley, the most famous wine country in California. Full of beautiful vineyards and wineries open for wine tasting, it is a relaxing way to spend the day. At the northern end of the valley is the charming town of Calistoga California. Enjoy a mudbath, massage or other spa treatment in one of the many local spas in town. (Photo credit Melissa Dixon). A great California travel destination in Northern California.

San Francisco Travel in Northern California
I love
San Francisco, the most beautiful city in the world. Shown here is the famous Golden Gate Bridge (photo credit Cathy Snider). If you visit Northern California, a trip to San Francisco, or "The City" as it is called by the locals, is a must. It is a warm and beautiful city in the winter, but in the summer be warned - the fog may be scenic over the bridge but "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco".

Yosemite National Park in Northern California is one of the most scenic spots in the world. Shown here is a photo of Half Dome in Yosemite Valley at Sunset (photo credit Andy Bollock). If you travel to California you should include a visit to Yosemite. Check out our list of best things to do in

Don't Miss Disneyland as you Travel Southern California
If you've never been to

Disneyland vacation ideas on our website. We also have tips on
discount tickets to Disneyland, and all the other popular theme parks in Southern California.
Travel California on the Pacific Coast Highway
The
Pacific Coast Highway runs along the United States western shore along Washington, Oregon and California's coast. It is a beautiful scenic road to explore. If you have the time, your visit to California should include a stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway. Here's a great website written by two award-winning travel writers about America's Pacific Coast Highway
