Visalia
& Central California’s
Sequoia Valley
The Perfect Summer Getaway
From parks, preserves and forests, to art and culture, fine dining
and shopping, annual festivals and more - Tulare County in Central
California is not only home to biggest trees and California’s
agricultural center, the region is also a perfect summer getaway for
family vacations, nature and outdoor adventures, romantic escapes,
and more.
Visalia and Tulare County is located in the heart of California’s
Central Valley at the base of the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National
Parks. Also known as the Sequoia Valley, the region offers natural
beauty, the world's richest farmland and plenty of adventure!
Being located at the base of the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National
Parks, the Sequoia National Forest, and the Sequoia National
Monument, the outdoor activities are endless boasting of Mount
Whitney - the tallest mountain peak in the continental US; the
General Sherman Tree - the world’s largest tree; 2 the deepest
canyon in North America, the ‘Trail of 100 Giants’ and the Kaweah
Rivers.
With
all this, the region still maintains its friendly hometown
atmosphere with communities and destinations including Visalia,
Exeter, Porterville, Springville, Squaw Valley, Three Rivers, Tulare
and Dinuba. Visitors can explore quaint downtown districts offering
antique and boutique style shopping; art galleries, murals and
public art; fine dining, entertainment and theatre opportunities;
museums and historic attractions, and more. The drives between each
of the communities lead you through the area’s rich agricultural
district and farmlands, parks and preserves. From charming bed and
breakfasts to first class hotels, there are plenty of places to stay
to accommodate every visitor’s needs or budget.

Our Mission: "Big Blend Magazine is a company based on the belief that education is the most formidable weapon that can be waged against fear, ignorance and prejudice.
It is our belief that education starts at
home and branches outward. Education leads to travel, and
travel leads to understanding, tolerance, and appreciation
of cultures and customs different to our own, and ultimately
to world peace. Our company is further based on the
principle that networking, communication, and helping others
to promote and market themselves leads to financial
stability; thus paving the way to better education, travel,
and the spirit of giving back to the community."
