The city of Visalia is located in the fields of the San Joaquin Valley just below the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The access to various National Parks, National Forest, & Wilderness areas makes this a great stop-over spot for those who plan to visit the Sierras. It is situated at the front door to both Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks. The quaint downtown area is lined shade trees & shops.

If your are headed up to a Sierra destination from Southern California this is a great spot to stop for the night. Coffee shops open bright & early for the eager travelers. Downtown Visalia is well worth a visit.
