24th ANNUAL FRESNO COUNTY BLOSSOM TRAIL BEGINS

As the days begin to warm and the fog clears, the orchards of Fresno County are preparing to welcome their springtime blooms.  Trail aficionados from near and far await the start of the Fresno County Blossom Trail with anticipation building that the blooms are merely a few weeks away. 

 This self guided tour through eastern Fresno County celebrates the beauty of the region’s agricultural heritage.  Traditionally at its peak from late February through late March (weather permitting) the Trail features a panorama of blossoming stone fruit orchards and citrus groves alive with fragrance and bursting with color (orange blossom portion will bloom into April).  Colorful orchards are set against the picturesque backdrop of the snow capped Sierra Nevada Mountains giving travelers the opportunity to enjoy the visual and aromatic experience of Fresno County's rich agricultural bounty! <
