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, take in the architecture and atmosphere at St George Greek Orthodox Church, and learn about all things military at Legion of Valor Museum.
