52 Wonderful Weekends in Northern California.
Whether you enjoy a luxurious weekend for

Adams photographs, seeds to start you own rain forest), or tracking a
band of wild horses, you'll find the right weekend idea in 52
Northern California Weekends.
Written by one of America's most
respected names in travel publishing, this guide covers key destinations
within a day's drive of the San Francisco Bay area. Filled with
practical and little-known tips, such as how to schedule trips early and
late in the day and how to avoid the crowds, this unique travel guide

seasonal approach, you are invited to experience dozens of weekend get-aways,
including:

freshwater lake, Clear Lake
