Amazing architectural grace is found at Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament. Step inside one of the most breathtaking buildings in the city. The soaring 1889 Roman Catholic structure, reconstructed dome, exquisite stained glass and the 2,000-pound crucifix suspended over the altar by airplane cables will leave you awe-inspired.

Spend some time outdoors and enjoy a nature walk at Effie Yeaw Nature Center located where the Sacramento and American rivers meet. You'll want to bring your binoculars, camera or artist pad to capture the "watchable wildlife" in the area, including wild turkeys, wild birds, deer and snakes. You're sure to appreciate nature even more at this award-winning, 77-acre environmental and cultural education center.

Come by and check out Sacramento's Capitol Garage. With beer on tap and plenty of mixed drinks, it's especially popular with local musicians and has open jazz jams during the week. You can also order grub from a menu as varied as its local talent. It's a great destination for the laid-back nightlife you're looking for.

All aboard! You'll enjoy the River Fox Train rides that are a combination of scenery, food and entertainment. Patrons can get in the middle of a Wild West adventure and eat BBQ at a park along the way. Check out other tours like Summer Scenic, Murder Mystery Dinner, and Sunset Happy Hour.
