Northern California is famous for its redwood forests, fine wines, Victorian towns, the rugged coast, towering volcanoes, two national parks and a national seashore, famous ski resorts, Lake Tahoe, and Sacramento the state capital. As defined here it stops at the Golden Gate -- San Francisco, the San Joaquin and Yosemite belong to Central California. This "state" of Northern California, as I have defined it, begins within sight of where I Iive, and contains some of my favorite places. I travel throughout this region year-around.

Northern California begins with Redwood National Park in the northwest corner along the coast. The northern mountains are covered by two guidebooks: Mount Shasta and the Klamath-Trinity Mountains in the center and west; then Mount Lassen and the Modoc Plateau in the northeast.
The guidebook to the Northern California Coast and Coast Ranges covers everything from Humboldt Bay down to the outskirts of the Bay Area, plus the Redwood Highway. The Sacramento Valley is the north half of the Great Central Valley, and the guidebook to Lake Tahoe and the Northern Sierra covers all the mountains from Lassen down to Yosemite.
Finally, the last stretch of coast and the last tier of valleys and ridges forms Marin and the North Bay Counties.
