If you've ever bitten into a perfectly ripe grape, snacked on buttery almonds, or sunk your teeth into an heirloom tomato, then you already know a little about Fresno. The city and its surrounding area are home to some of America's richest farmland, and Fresno vacations are ideal for travelers looking to reconnect with Mother Nature.
The best seasons to visit Fresno are the spring, when the orchards are in full boom, and the summer, when the branches are thick with fruit. And the ultimate way to experience the natural splendor of the area is by driving the Fresno County Blossom Trail, a 62-mile loop through the back roads of San Joaquin Valley. Pack a picnic, roll down the windows to enjoy the sweet scent of the blossoms, and stop in the scenic towns dotting the trail.
Fresno vacation packages are also perfect for those seeking heart-pumping adventure. Motor up to Yosemite National Park and hike past roaring waterfalls, shoot the white-water rapids of nearby Kings River, or scale the cliffs of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park.
Next vacation, skip the city's hustle and bustle and step off the beaten path in California.
