Yosemite National Park - Nearby Destinations

Tourist destinations to consider near Yosemite National Park are listed below. Click on any name for complete information.



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.

     
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.

     
Sequoia Kings Canyon National Park
  Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon National Park are home to giants: immense mountains, deep canyons, and huge trees. Together with Giant Sequoia National Monument and vast stretches of federal wilderness, a significant portion of the Sierra Nevada range is encompassed in this beautiful area.
     
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.
