7 days in Fresno Itinerary

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

Explore Fresno's surroundings by going to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park (Moro Rock Trail, Giant Forest, &more), Yosemite National Park (Ansel Adams Gallery, Vernal Fall, &more) and The Presidente tree (in Three Rivers). And it doesn't end there: admire nature's wide array of creatures at Fresno Chaffee Zoo, admire the natural beauty at Shinzen Japanese Garden, get engrossed in the history at Legion of Valor Museum, and indulge your thirst for a good beer at Tioga-Sequoia Brewing Company.
