Sacramento
Nestled amongst 1.5 million acres of farmland, the capital city of California sits as one of the state's most often forgotten metros. With nicknames, like "Almond Capital of the World" and "America's Farm-to-Fork Capital," Sacramento may sound like a sleepy farm town. But Sacramento boasts so much more, including a diverse population and even an NBA team, the Sacramento Kings. Rich in history, Sacramento is also a center for higher education thanks to California State University and others in the city. The city boasts gorgeous vistas along the Sacramento River, and also sits in an ideal location in the state of California; just 96 miles from the ocean and 117 miles from world-renowned Lake Tahoe.
