Northern California Handbook: Including San Francisco, Wine Country, Big Sur, Yosemite, Redwood Coast (Moon Handbooks)

This Handbook covers it all, from the bright lights of big cities to the starry night skies of the Mojave Desert. The state's traditional tourist draws -- the San Diego Zoo and Balboa Park, Disneyland and Universal Studios, Hollywood, "Hearst's Castle" at San Simeon, star-studded Los Angeles and the romantic city of San Francisco -- are all presented in generous detail. But where standard guidebooks end is where Moon Handbooks: California begins to distinguish itself, and with a range of choices for food, lodging, and entertainment, no trip to the Golden State is complete without it. "Moon travel books always give you more than you expect." -- Route 66 Magazine

In Coastal California Handbook, one of America's most legendary drives finally has a guidebook equal to its wonders. Golden State travel maven Kim Weir dives beneath the eye-catching scenery to chart the multifaceted, multicultural terrain of America's Gold Coast.

Perfect for roadtrippers along the famed Pacific Coast Highway and Highway 101, Coastal California Handbook also provides detailed coverage of attractions famous and obscure, from San Francisco's North Beach to the wooden sidewalks of Victorian Mendocino, from Hearst Castle to the human-sized chess board at Morro Bay.
