Most Californians are accustomed to our "golden" landscapes from lack of precipitation. BUT when it's green, WOW it's gorgeous. Right now is the perfect time to take a drive and see the green fields, hills and mountain sides.
Take a drive up Highway 41, headed north out of Fresno and discover the beauty that our area holds.
Notice the snowcapped peaks in the background
Drive through farm lands, vineyards, pasture lands, rolling hills, and then into the Sierra Mountain Range.
Highway 41 will take you through the small town of Coarsegold and into Oakhurst where Highway 49 intersects or you can stay on Hwy 41 and drive through forests of Ponderosa Pines and Redwoods to the southern entrance to Yosemite. Be sure to get gas in the valley and/or in Oakhurst as the only other station beyond Oakhurst are in Yosemite (Wawona) and quite spendy.
Stop at one of the many restaurants or grocery stores in Oakhurst and pack a lunch to enjoy along a creek or overlook as you head north.
The fresh, crisp mountain air is invigorating and rejuvenating! Enjoy the GREEN while it lasts.
