Major point of transportation and distribution during the “Gold Rush”, Sacramento is located at the intersection of both the American and Sacramento rivers. Affectionately nicknamed “River City”, the capital of the State Of California offers an excellent playground to kayak and rafting lovers, as well as a great way of rediscovering the pioneer’s routes from a paddlewheel steamboat. Modern-day Sacramento combines historic Victorian houses and sophisticated urban center, and there is no doubt that its numerous museums, historic sites as well as its great restaurants make it a city of choice.
