Chances are that you're visiting Calistoga either for the mud baths and the mineral pools or for the wine. Well, you're right to do so! There's nothing more relaxing than spending a day at the spa or sipping on some wonderful wines. But there a few other things that Calistoga is known for. You can go for a hike through the Petrified Forest of six million year old redwoods, you can golf, go for a bike ride, or have a picnic.

While you're in Calistoga, don't miss these:

• Old Faithful Geyser : this geyser is one of the few in the world that is regularly active. It erupts every 45 minutes shooting very hot water as high up as 100 feet. To visit this natural wonder, go to 1299 Tubbs Lane. It's open daily from 9am to 6pm and admission is $8.
• Sharpsteen Museum : this museum traces Napa's history through the angle of American emigration. It's a great way to learn more about the early history of Calistoga and its first settlers.
