There’s a reason why this area is called the “Central Valley.” It sits at California’s crossroads—an adventure opportunity between the Bay Area and Yosemite,
and a food haven on the run from SoCal up to Mount Shasta. Modesto and the
surrounding area feature all the fun and excitement California is famous for, plus plenty of space where you can kick back
and marvel at the scenery or savor locally-sourced fresh food. We’ve got the fishing spots, the golf holes, the river runs, and the hiking trails to fill your days, and the restaurants and pubs to fuel your nights. So if you want to make the most of your Cali vacation, book Mo’ time right here.
You already know Modesto as the location for American Graffiti. Now it’s time to rock your own road trip into the heart of it all.
