We're heading to Calistoga on Saturday. Our first dilemma is whether to visit the Petrified Forest or the Old Faithful Geyser, or whether to give them both a miss and go for a walk instead. The problem is that we are likely to arrive in the Calistoga area several hours before we can check into the Bothe-Napa State Park. So we need to do something, and lunch at Denny's is not high on Hubby's list of wannados.
We have friends who've seen Old Faithful and describe it as "interesting but not life changing." The online reviews of both are dire, mostly along the lines of "They charged me $10 to see a pile of logs" and "They charged me $10 to pat a goat and see a not-very-impressive squirt of water after a 20 minute wait." So, as you can see, we are torn. That's California for you, so many wonderful choices.

Just so you're not roughing it too much you might consider a Napa-style picnic.
When we first came to California we stayed at Calistoga with Richard and Janet and had lunch on Highway 29 at the V. Sattui Marketplace on the way there.
Nice gardens, great food.
