Experience Northern California
Chico is a picturesque and welcoming city with a unique bonus—a beautiful view of the nearby town of Paradise. Once connecting the two towns, the historic Honey Run Covered Bridge served as a key stagecoach route through the scenic Butte Creek Canyon, now known for its breathtaking landscapes and hiking trails.
Thanks to Chico’s rich, fertile soil, the region produces an impressive variety of crops. You'll find thousands of acres of almond orchards, along with bountiful groves of walnuts, peaches, and kiwis. Visitors can explore numerous local orchards and experience the agricultural abundance firsthand.
