Winter might be a cold and wet time of the year here in Central California, but it's also a good time to get outside and enjoy nature. And with the High Sierra covered in snow hikes turn to the foothills. On this week's Valley Edition we chat about activities to do in the hills near Fresno and Madera.
We are joined by State Park Ranger Mark De Leon at Millerton Lake to talk about boat bald eagle tours and Rosanna Ruiz with the Sierra Foothill Conservancy to chat about about hikes along the historic table top mountains in the region. (To listen to the interview click play above.)
