Sonoma County / Russian River

Even in winter one can sit in a steaming hot tub and look up hundreds of feet through the boughs of the redwoods and peek at the stars. Only 90 minutes north of San Francisco, Guerneville (pronounced "Gurnvil") boasts several gay and lesbian resorts ranging from an elegant mansion to cabins and campsites. The clear Pacific air is filled with the fragrance of fir and the weather is usually sunny and warm year-round. After a day of hiking through the primeval Armstrong Redwoods State Reserve, horseback riding over the lush hills in the area, swimming in the clear, lazy waters of the Russian River or experiencing breathtaking views from a hot air balloon, settle down into this quiet, serene town and enjoy a varied night life of superb California cuisine and a nightcap at one of Guerneville's local bars or nightclubs. The most spectacular coastline in the world is only twelve miles away and, to the east, the wine country of Sonoma and Napa counties beckon with its cellars open for tasting and its vineyards creating some of the most precious grapes in the world.
