Jewels of Northern California, by Mary K. Hanley

Now here is a magical book ­ a book that will take you on many epic adventures, and send you to recover the treasures and secrets of a mysterious world. Jewels of Northern California is the only map you’ll need to find the most unique and most beautiful destinations in our great state. And here’s the best part of it all: if you live or work in Yuba or Sutter County, not only do you have the privilege of being part of an awesome community, but you are within a 4 hour drive of most of these precious jewels.

In her new book, regionally renowned traveler and author Mary K. Hanley shares with us some of the true “booty” of Northern California - the finest delights of art, architecture, scenic beauty, regional eccentricity, and historical exuberance. Find information on when to go, how to get there and what to look for once you’ve arrived.

Visit Northern California’s several lighthouses (and one in a very unlikely place); explore the diversity of small towns and larger cities scattered about the coast, tucked away in the hills, and flowing down the North Central Valley; get the scoop on natural wonders, historic parks, museums, quaint B&Bs and old historic inns.

For those of us who love traveling, and whose lifestyle allows only for a short day or weekend excursions, Mary K. Hanley’s book is truly a jewel - an awesome guide to the out of the way, inexpensive, unusual and non-touristy spots that we all hope to find.
