Character

Clovis is appealing, as it has both vibrant and quiet areas. Even though this city is not known for its lively ambience, finding one of the about 20 bars is rather difficult as they are generally situated in not very convenient locations.

A lot of locations within the city have good access to public green spaces, including Sierra Bicentennial Park and Clovis Rodeo Grounds, since they aren't well-situated.
