Sonoma Valley
Sun-dappled vineyards surrounded
by pastoral ranchlands, where the
uniqueness of terroir is valued more
than a winery’s fine-art collection. In
this down-to-earth wine country, you
may taste new vintages straight from
the barrel inside a shed. Who cares if
it’s not noon yet? Relax; conventions
need not apply on Trip 6: Sonoma
Valley.

TRIP 6


Joshua Tree


National Park


Whimsical-looking Joshua trees define
this park, where the Colorado and
Mojave Deserts converge. This is one of
California’s top places to climb, but even
kids can scramble around the boulders.
Hikers seek out fan-palm oases fed by
springs and streams. Come in spring to
see wildflowers bloom on Trip 33: Palm
Springs & Joshua Tree Oases.
