Fresno travel guide
United States · Top sights · trending spots
Fresno sits in the San Joaquin valley, which grows a large share of America's fruit and nuts, and is the closest airport to three national parks.
Yosemite's southern gate is under two hours away, and Sequoia and Kings Canyon about the same — the General Sherman tree there is the largest living thing on earth by volume. The Forestiere Underground Gardens were dug by hand from 1906.

Forestiere Underground Gardens
A Sicilian immigrant, Baldassare Forestiere, dug this out by hand between 1906 and his death in 1946 — courtyards, passages and skylit rooms ten metres down, to escape the heat of the valley. He grew citrus underground, training the trees up through the light wells.
