5 days in Fresno Itinerary

The only metropolitan hub nestled between three national parks, Fresno makes a surprisingly lively getaway.

Venture out of the city with trips to Yosemite National Park (Half Dome, Mariposa Grove, &more) and Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park (Giant Forest, Moro Rock Trail, &more). The adventure continues: meet the residents at Fresno Chaffee Zoo, cool off at Island Waterpark, indulge your thirst for a good beer at Tioga-Sequoia Brewing Company, and admire the striking features of Fresno City Hall.
