Most visitors to California set their sights on the Bay Area, Napa\u2019s wine country or the sandy beaches of the south. And while Manteca, in the fertile San Joaquin Valley, may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of the Golden State, it is a hidden gem for anyone looking to relax in an outdoor-oriented town.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From the sportsman\u2019s palace of Bass Pro Shops to<\/span> the replica ballfields of the<\/span> Big League\u00a0Dreams sports complex, <\/span>Manteca has something for anyone who likes to play in the outdoors or is gearing up to do so, all within biking and walking distance of quality hotels.
