No matter what season it is in Northern Sonoma, there's are always gorgeous views. Plan your next trip by looking at these scenes of Spring, Summer, Fall, and even a Winter visit can be memorable.
Located in the beautiful coastal foothills of Northern California is Lake Sonoma. Lake Sonoma is surrounded by Sonoma County vineyards and land rich in history. This provides the perfect setting for a wealth of recreation activities. Also visit the marina here.
A Hot Air Balloon flight is a gentle, yet exciting, adventure that will create lasting memories of your visit to the beautiful Wine Country. Your personal balloon adventure may take you low over the vineyards and rise above to give you panoramic views of the most famous wineries, coastal mountains and views of the Pacific Ocean.
Balloon flights over the fall vineyards are beautiful...changing colors offer a view unlike any other. The meeting time is 7:00 am now and will continue to be so through the winter. Another good thing about flying this time of year is the clear clear sky. We get crisp days with long views and usually long distance flights.
Come fish largemouth bass and smallmouth bass on beautiful Lake Sonoma & Clear Lake in the heart of California's Wine Country.

The serene, majestic beauty of Armstrong Redwoods is a living reminder of the magnificent primeval redwood forest that covered much of this area before logging operations began during the 19th century. Located an hour and a half's drive north of San Francisco, this 805 acre reserve provides visitors from all over the world with an extraordinary opportunity to experience the unforgettable beauty of an ancient redwood forest. This reserve includes a large outdoor amphitheater, self-guided nature trails, and a variety of picnic facilities. Although no camping is available in the redwood grove, there is a campground at Austin Creek State Recreation Area which is adjacent to the park.
No visit to the North coast is complete without touring Fort Ross, the historical Russian settlement of the Russian-American Trading Company who came to the area in 1812 to hunt sea otter and grow crops for Russian settlements in Alaska. Not only does Fort Ross bring history to life, but the surrounding parkland provides an excellent place to experience the beauty of the coast . Located 11 miles north of Jenner on Highway 1, this beautifully restored and reconstructed fort is set on a grassy plain below forested hills with a backdrop of the Pacific Ocean - a view that has remained unspoiled by development of modern civilization. Day use fees are $6.00 per car. Be sure to spend some time in the visitor center at Fort Ross, which is known for excellent interpretive exhibits and an interesting selection of books and Russian items for sale.
