7 days in Fresno Itinerary

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

Get out of town with these interesting Fresno side-trips: Yosemite National Park (Half Dome, Mariposa Grove, &more), The Senate (in Three Rivers) and Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park (Generals Hwy, General Sherman Tree, &more). And it doesn't end there: get to know the resident critters at Fresno Chaffee Zoo, take in nature's colorful creations at Forestiere Underground Gardens, indulge your thirst for a good beer at Tioga-Sequoia Brewing Company, and learn about all things military at Legion of Valor Museum.

Expect a daytime high around °F in January, and nighttime lows around °F. Finish up your sightseeing early on the 10th (Fri) so you can travel back home.
