Modesto Population: 200,000
  Modesto is located in the heart of California’s central San Joaquin Valley. Surrounded by fertile farmlands that produce dairy products, fruits, nuts, and other resources for the country, Modesto is a small town at heart, with a growing population that appreciates the escape from the larger urban areas nearby.
     
Sacramento Population: 1.7 million (metro population)
 

Sacramento is California’s state capital, located in the middle of the central Sacramento Valley. Visitors can check out a basketball game from hometown team the Kings, or take in the zoo, some theater, or fine cuisine in historic Old Sacramento.

     
Stockton Population: 300,000
 

Stockton is within close proximity to world famous scenic attractions including the California coast, San Francisco, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park. Stockton is one of California's fastest growing cities and has a dynamic, multi-ethnic and multi-cultural population. Stockton was recently voted the "Best Tree City" in the western United States and with over 100,000 trees its easy and enjoyable to get lost in the foliage.

  Yosemite National Park encompasses a spectacular tract of mountain-and-valley scenery in the Sierra Nevada. The park harbors a grand collection of waterfalls, meadows, and forests that include groves of giant sequoias, the world's largest living things. Most famous is the awe-inspiring Half Dome, a massive granite rock face that juts dramatically out of the glacially-carved valley.
