Why: Calistoga is the answer to the question of what to do in the Napa Valley when you've had enough wine. Though the Napa/Sonoma wildfires of October drew near, they never reached the town of Calistoga, and it remains handsome as ever. In early November, I spent a night and stepped from the chilly morning air into the Olympic-sized, 102-degree, steam-cloaked pool at the 17-acre Indian Springs resort. Where: Indian Springs, 1712 Lincoln Ave., Calistoga, 73 miles north of San Francisco's Ferry Building, 427 miles northwest of downtown L.A.How much: In winter, Indian Springs rooms for two usually start at about $239 per night. Info: Visit Calistoga, Indian Springs
