Introducing Madera
The drive to Madera leaves the desert behind, twisting alternately through thick forests on the mountains and fertile plains between the hills. People come to the town for what’s around it. The area is lush with mighty pine trees, salmon-colored cliffs, waterfalls and a wealth of archaeological sites. The climate is refreshingly cool, and the town regularly gets winter snow.
