Local know-how

Down CA-99 to the airport

Yuba City is one of the closer valley towns to SMF — forty minutes on CA-99 through rice fields and orchards.

Traffic is light most of the day; harvest season brings more trucks on CA-99.

For relatives arriving with a lot of luggage, the SUV or Ford Transit brings everyone home together.
