Sacramento, California

Population: 407,018

Set in California's bounteous Central Valley and the hub of California's government, Sacramento's modern feel both contrasts and accentuates its Wild West past. The city's colorful gold rush history is commemorated in sites such as the Old Sacramento State Historic while metropolitan culture thrives in the capitol city's downtown district. Water-based recreational activities are a local favorite, and the nearby American River is popular with kayakers and rafters while Folsom Lake and Lake Natoma offer excellent sailing and windsurfing. With a stream of entertaining festivals and activities, Sacramento's colorful history, vibrant culture and natural beauty make it a supremely invigorating city.
