Editorial Reviews

Taking a day trip is such a swell idea, but one that doesn't always blossom into its intended fun. You think you'll mosey about some back roads, but you waste hours trying to find country lanes that aren't full of fast food outlets. Browning makes it easy. He provides clear routes, brief history, and practical info like where the bait shop is. He doesn't take the fun out of exploration, he just leads you to some areas in Northern California where you're bound to have a good day.

Product Description
With over 28,000 copies sold, Peter Browning's perennially popular guide to Northern California's most scenic drives is now available in a completely revised, updated, and redesigned edition. Including 28 picturesque routes, each paced for a leisurely day away from the city, Day Trips is jam-packed with black-and-white photographs, handy maps, and fascinating historical information. Offering a terrific alternative to the crowds and traffic at most local tourist attractions, Day Trips is perfect for anyone seeking an adventure within easy reach of San Francisco.

I have often thought, while observing the desperate driving maneuvers so many people employ to gain a few seconds' advantage over other drivers, that the most crucial lesson of driving behavior has been forgotten-or, perhaps, never learned. Read the first page
