Fresno
|
Population: 430,000
|
|
| |
Fresno is located in the center of California, in the fertile inland
San Joaquin Valley. Surrounded by farm country, Fresno is a relatively
young city with a diverse population. While the city isn’t a prime
tourist destination, easy access to the beautiful Sierra Nevada range
and three national parks (Yosemite and Sequoia/King’s Canyon) have
made Fresno a frequent stop for area travelers. |

Oakland
|
Population: 1.5 million
|
|
| |
Oakland has always struggled to forge an identity for itself separate
from its famous sister across the bay. Once primarily a major port
town, Oakland has a pleasant climate and convenient access to both the
San Francisco area and East Bay spots like Berkeley. |

Sacramento
|
Population: 1.7 million (metro population)
|

Sacramento is California’s state capital, located in the middle of the

fine cuisine in historic Old Sacramento. |

San Jose
|
Population: 930,000
|

Consistently voted as one of the sunniest, safest, and overall best
places to live in the country, San Jose and the surrounding area is
rapidly gaining a place in history alongside its other West Coast
neighbors. Situated at the foot of rolling green hills at the south
end of the San Francisco Bay, San Jose is one of California’s oldest
cities and is the eleventh largest in the nation. |

Sierra Nevadas
|
|
|
| |
The Sierra Nevada of eastern California are one of the country’s most
astounding treasures. These mountains are wild: wild geology, with
glaciers and volcanoes, wild animal life like the state bear and the
golden eagle, and even wild plant life in the immense sequoia forests.
Encompassing three national parks, six national forests, and thousands
of square miles of other protected areas, the Sierra Nevada is one of
the largest islands of scenic wilderness remaining in the United States. |

Yosemite National Park
|
|
|
| |
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. |
