Things To Do Wine Country
Mud Baths
Calistoga
A regional indulgence going back as far as the native Mayacamas Indians, mud baths combine clay, peat, and hot mineral waters to “cleanse impurities, relax muscles and joints, and leave skin soft and renewed.” Even if you emerge from the reputedly restorative muck with arthritic knees and pulled hamstring intact, the feelings of warmth imparted by bathing in several hundred pounds of primordial ooze can be strangely relaxing – and make for a good story back home. Among Calistoga's “dirty” dozen offering this unique spa treatment, Dr. Wilkinson's Hot Springs and Indian Springs resorts are among the longest running.
