Looking for summer road trip ideas? Romantic getaways? Family adventures? Campsites, gourmet taco trucks, hikes and hidden mountain towns? My new guidebook Northern California: An Explorer's Guide addresses the need for honest coverage of  California's most beautiful landscape from a local perspective. The book covers the region from Big Sur to Yosemite, all the way up to the Oregon border, including hidden gems like Dunsmuir, Gualala, Shelter Cove and Twain Harte, not to mention Lake Tahoe, San Francisco, Wine Country and the redwoods.

In researching this book, I traveled for months to find off the beaten track destinations, ways to enjoy popular vacations spots without having to take out a second mortgage, plus family friendly and romantic getaways.

This is the perfect road trip guide for people who live in, travel to, or just want to gaze at photos of this majestic region. You can use this guide as if an overly opinionated friend were sitting in your back seat.

Even if you have lived in Northern California for your entire life, there are so many new eateries, galleries, wineries and even small towns to explore that you will never tire of the countless opportunities to rekindle your love affair with the region.

In a time when we are struggling to pay our bills, there is nothing more therapeutic than venturing to nature, enjoying a fine meal, or getting out of the house. Northern California: An Explorer's Guide is the perfect way to be reminded of the sheer beauty of the region.
