Welcome to Great Escapes:
Northern California

Great Escapes: Northern California, published this May, is part of a new series of travel books by Countryman Press/Norton.

Author Laura Del Rosso chose some of her favorite places within a four-hour drive of the Bay Area: beaches along miles of uncrowded Pacific coast, some of San Francisco's most vibrant neighborhoods, Gold Rush-era towns, mountain resorts and vineyard-covered valleys of the wine country.
