Also try Columbia, in the Sierra Nevadas - an old 49er gold rush town, very little changed since the last century. Clint Eastwood filmed part of "Pale Rider" there. Verry picturesque - walk down the main street and you expect Gary Cooper to step out of a side street any minute!
If Reid-Hillview (outskirts of San Jose) is still open, drop in to the Flying Country Club there. If Leanne is still running it, give her a kiss from me! Very friendly folks, and the food in the airport restaurant is very good.
Sequoia is also very pretty! (Particularly if you like trees!) They filmed part of "Always" there.
