There isn't a Camino de Sonoma guidebook yet. The existing route for the Camino de Sonoma was first realized as a present-day pilgrimage in 2019. Although the route is well understood and has been walked by many times, much of the support structure that would be included in a guidebook is yet to be coordinated within the overall framework of the Camino de Sonoma. Route maps are available at Camino de Sonoma | List | AllTrails .
The following two options have worked well for walkers and can be readily personalized to meet unique needs. Of course, there are many creative options for how to walk the Camino depending on personal needs and preference.
1) Many walkers choose to stay in Santa Rosa for the first three nights, then move to Occidental for the remaining evenings, and carpool/shuttle to and from the pilgrimage route with other walkers. The benefit to this option is only having to relocate once.
2) Other walkers have chosen to stay at a different location each night in towns along the way. Carpool/shuttling may still be required with this option to retrieve vehicles and/or transportation to and from lodging.
