This week on The Travel Guys, we highlight a nearby National Park, take you on a train ride or two and tell you about the second biggest floral parade in the country.

In the travel news, resort fees are spreading across the country.  Mark has a strong opinion on resort fees.  What do you think that might be?

The rains have come to Yosemite, and Road Reporter Ramona Goodge is on hand with an update on travel to the park in the springtime. Chris Hart is president of three local railroads, in Sacramento, Ft. Bragg/Willits and Oakdale.  You can enjoy a variety of excursions for sightseeing and special meals.

The Portland Rose Parade is part of the Rose Festival held in Oregon every June.  Carol Ross is our guest, sharing details on some of the festival’s special events.

Heath Buckmaster is in studio to tell you about a special event Sacramento’s public television station is holding and we give you a chance to win tickets at the end of the show.
