Local know-how
Calistoga via Sacramento
Sacramento is roughly as far from Calistoga as SFO, but the drive has no bridges and steadier timing — a good option for early domestic flights.
The route leaves the valley at Napa and climbs through Jameson Canyon to I-80 at Cordelia; from there it is a straight run east.
Visitors flying in from the east often find SMF fares and schedules convenient for a Calistoga stay.
