Sacramento Guide
United States of America > Sacramento
One of its attractions that one should not miss while visiting
the city is the California State Railroad Museum, which is
a part of the California Department of Parks and Recreation
exists to preserve the history and artifacts of the country.
To enjoy nature, Discovery Park, north of downtown via
I-5 is worth visiting. Also, the American River Bike Trail
is fantastic to visit. The dark groves of oak trees, sheer
slate bluffs, whitewater rapids, granite outcroppings, smooth
ponds ringed with cattails and much more fascinations.
The World Peace Rose Garden Memorial, has made Sacramento
into a wonderful historical heritage and rich ethnic diversity
city. It will be the first city with a World Peace Rose
Garden Memorial dedicated to women, children and families.
An interesting feature of this garden is that one can dedicate
a name in the garden as a symbol of world peace memorial.
