2025 Fresno Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

Pfeiffer Beach is a quiet, beautiful and unusual beach. The locals visit the area regularly but to the tourist the beach is still fairly unknown. The sand at the beach is an unusual purple colour and this is caused by the manganese garnet particles that get washed down from the neighbouring hillside. A must visit! #summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

I’ve been to many zoo’s before, but this one totally takes the cake! Being able to feed the giraffes was beyond my expectations and so much fun, for the little ones and myself of course! The animals here are amazing, the cages are well maintained, and they have lots of room to roam. There is also a stingray bay where you can pet them and watch them swim around up close and personal!!!! My son loves anything aquatic so he was STOKED, to say the least! i suggest bringing a picnic basket for lunch, there are plenty of so pots on the grass to lounge out for a snack, or you can grab a hot dog or another item from the snack area! great family fun day , we will definitely be back!!!!! #naturalwonders #animalwildlife #naturelover #zoooofamily

Delightful experience of waterfalls at Yosemite National Park, the view is just mesmerizing either you drive or hike, next time I will pack my raincoat and hiking boots 🥾🌿, so that we don’t get drenched while enjoying waterfalls 💦✨🌈 #california #usatravel #trip #naturalwonders #hiking #waterfall #nature

Starting from Yosemite National Park, take CA-120 and drive west for about three hours to San Francisco; to the east (the road is closed in winter) there is a huge saltwater volcanic lake called Mono Lake. There are many crystallized salt pillars on the lake surface, which attracts many seabirds to inhabit here. North of Yosemite National Park, at the border between California and Nevada, there is the deepest and largest freshwater lake in the entire Sierra Nevada Mountains, called Lake Tahoe. It has beautiful scenery and you can swim and drive a speedboat in the summer and ski in the winter (CA-120 goes east, connects to US-395 to the north, and connects to US-50 to the west). South of Yosemite National Park is Kings Canyon National Park and Sequoia National Park (CA-41 south, then CA-180 east).
