To celebrate the centennial of AAA's Via Magazine, they created a list of 100 of the Best Travel Ideas in the West, and three of our local Santa Rosa and Sonoma County favorites have been included!
#32
"Sip some suds in Santa Rosa, Calif., recently named the Microbrew Capital of the United States. Russian River Brewing Company makes Pliny the Younger, a rare triple IPA that draws crowds for its release each February."
#54
"Hang out with giraffes at Safari West, a 400-acre African wildlife preserve near Santa Rosa, Calif. Safari riders have been known to get friendly licks on the face from the 20-foot tall beasts."
#75
"Sit on the craggy cliffs of Bodega Head near Bodega Bay, Calif., and watch waves hit the rocks as whales travel north, March to June."
