Fresno, California is one of the state’s premier agricultural areas. Located in the San Joaquin Valley, Fresno produces grapes, figs, strawberries, plums, peaches, oranges, nectarines, and other crops. When you visit, don’t neglect to try some fruit from one the local venders along the road.
Fresno’s summers are hot, but the temperature drops after sundown. The rains come in the winter; however, freezes are rare.
Fresno has many attractions. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, History, and Science draws numerous visitors every year. Visit the historic 1889 Meux Home for a look at life in late nineteenth century California and view life in the early twentieth century at the 1906 Kearney Mansion. For a change of pace, visit the Forestiere Underground Gardens; these unique gardens really are underground, although they feature many skylights. You are sure to enjoy the two amusement parks and the zoo at Roeding Park, which also has tennis courts and fishing ponds. If you want something wilder, venture to Kings River and try white-water rafting. Visitors in the late winter and early spring can enjoy the blossoming fruit orchards along the Fresno Blossom Trail.
Take the route from Fresno to Shaver Lake in the Sierras and enjoy the scenery; over the course of the hour or less drive the elevation rises from nearly sea level to 4000 feet. Visit Clovis for a taste of the old West and shop the antiques shops or enjoy the rodeo. If you like hand-crafted fare travel to Reedley and watch the talented quilters at the Mennonite Quil
