Modesto Convention & Visitors Bureau
Modesto Convention and Visitors Bureau. Introduces the city of Modesto, California and the surrounding area, provides visitor and tourist information, and provides resources for meeting/convention planners and film makers.
Centrally located on
Highway 99, Modesto is easily accessible from throughout
California. West of the valley and over the coastal mountain
range lies the San Francisco Bay Area, a 90-minute drive
from Modesto. Eastward are the foothills that house the
famed Mother Lode gold country and lead to the majestic
Sierra Nevada mountain range and Yosemite National Park.
Part of California's
fertile Central Valley, which stretches 300 miles through
the centre of the state, Modesto offers the diversity and
facilities of a metropolitan city, but still maintains an
atmosphere of old-fashioned hospitality. With a population
exceeding 180,000, it is the largest city and the seat of
Stanislaus County.
