American River Whitewater Tours
Professionally guided whitewater tours on the American River ranging from beginner to extreme. Half-day day trips start at $59.00 (available daily). Actually in Lotus which is about one hour's drive from Sacramento. For more information, phone (toll-free) 800-333-7238 or visit their web site: www.arrafting.com .
California Vietnam Veterans Memorial
Surrounded by a large grassy area, next to the Rose garden in the northeast corner of the State Capitol grounds is California's memorial to our Vietnam Veterans. Here is an excellent place to review the blessings of America and some of the cost of maintaining a philosophy that seems to be uniquely American. Visitors from other countries may also be reminded of the many, unselfish contributions American men and women have made in the continuing effort to help others escape the grips of tyranny.
A Vietnam veteran, Ron Fulks, has created an excellent web site - with links to some others, describing this monument. View it at: http://grunt.space.swri.edu/calmem.htm
Delta King
In the late 1920's, two large, luxurious paddle-wheel steamers (the Delta King and the Delta Queen) navigated the Sacramento River carrying up to 200 passengers between Sacramento and San Francisco. Both were retired and the Delta King was refurbished as an upscale restaurant and hotel. It is now permanently moored at Historic Old Sacramento. For more information, view: delta king hotel
Governor's Mansion
Residence of California's governors from 1903 to 1967, last occupied by Ronald Reagan. This stately, 30-room, Victorian mansion is filled with historic furnishings donated by the governors and their families. Tours on the hour; guides recite stories of the 13 California governors and their families who lived here.
1526 H Street (at 16th Street). Open 10a-4p daily; tours on the hour. Small fee. For more information, phone 916-323-3047
Old Sacramento
Here is a living museum; a glimpse of Sacramento as it in the time of the 19th Century gold prospectors. This is a most enjoyable way to sample history, view museums, visit some very interesting shops and enjoy a pleasant repast in one of the several delightful restaurants. And there's entertainment, horse-drawn carriages, and boat rides, too!
Located in downtown Sacramento. Just follow the signs (covered parking available). For more information, visit their web site: www.oldsacramento.com
Port of Sacramento
The result of the dredging by the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers of a 43 mile channel, plus a lot of fund-raising by thousands of concerned citizens, Sacramento officially became a deep water port and opened for business as the Port of Sacramento 29 June 1963. It was a long, hard struggle, delayed by many political speed bumps, but the pay-off in its contribution to the area has been significant.

Spirit of Sacramento Riverboat Cruises
Take a 1-hour cruise on the Sacramento River aboard Sacramento's historic 110 foot paddlewheeler, the Spirit of Sacramento. Also available are dining, dancing and extended sightseeing cruises plus private cruises. Departs from from Old Sacramento. For more information, phone (toll-free) 800-433-0263.

State Capitol
In the center of Sacramento, bounded by 10th, 15th, L and N Streets, is California's unique contribution fo State Capitol architecture. Possibly its most famous feature, the giant glass dome, rises a good 210 feet above ground level. Guided tours, lasting about one hour, are regularly available during the summer and by appointment the rest of the year.
For a virtual tour, see: www.assembly.ca.gov/ .
