Day 2. Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks<\/h2>\n
Yosemite National Park<\/strong> is located ~300 km (190 miles) east of San Francisco<\/strong> and it takes about 4 hours to get there, so it is better get up as early as possible. Actually it applies to any day of this itinerary. Sorry, there is no time to sleep during this week J<\/p>\n
The entrance fee to Yosemite NP is $20 per car and includes all occupants of the car. Permit is valid for unlimited entries to the park for 7 days. Because during this week it will be visited at least 4 national parks the best deal is to buy Annual Pass. It cost $80 for all National parks and you can buy it before your trip online<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Yosemite National Park<\/a> is huge. The area of the park is ~3100 square km (~1200 square miles) with over 1200 kilometers (750 miles) of trail. Yosemite Valley<\/strong> is the best place to go for day visitor. Surrounded by up to 1.5 km (5,000 feet) rocks the valley itself is very flat and it is possible to take some short hikes without proper hiking boots.<\/p>\n
$\"Yosemite$ <\/a>
El Capitan and Bridalveil Fall in Yosemite Valley, Yosemite National Park, US<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Some short hikes to choose:<\/p>\n
\n
Bridalveil Fall<\/strong> – 800 meters (0.5 miles) round-trip, 20 minutes<\/li>\n
Lower Yosemite Fall<\/strong> – 1.6 km (1 mile) loop. 30 minutes<\/li>\n
Cook’s Meadow Loop<\/strong> – 1.6 km (1 mile) loop. 30 minutes<\/li>\n
Mirror Lake\/Meadow<\/strong> – 3.2 km (2 miles) round-trip, 1 hour<\/li>\n
Vernal Fall footbridge<\/strong> – 2.6 km ( 1.6 miles) round-trip, 1.5 hours<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
May is the best month to watch water falls then snow melts in the mountains. You won\u2019t see so much water in August as you can see in above photo.<\/p>\n
Next stop is at Sequoia National Park<\/a> (entry fee is $20 if you didn\u2019t buy Annual Pass<\/strong>). Park is 300 km (190 miles) and 4 hours driving away from Yosemite Valley, but you must to see those giant trees and largest is the General Sherman Tree<\/strong>. The tree is 84 meters (275 feet) height and estimated 2300-2700 years old and is called the largest living thing on the Earth.<\/p>\n
$\"Giant$ <\/a>
Giant sequoia trees in Seqouia National park, US<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The tunnel log located not far from the General Sherman Tree<\/strong> will let you feel even more how big these trees are as you can drive with your car through that tunnel.<\/p>\n
It will be later evening by the time you reach this tunnel and the close by Mono Rock<\/strong> is the best place for sunset viewing – with sun going down in the west and moon rising above Great Western Divide<\/strong> in the east .<\/p>\n
$\"Sunset$ <\/a>
Sunset at Moro rock in Seqouia National park, US<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
A view is fantastic and at least during my visit it wasn\u2019t many people there at night so maybe you can enjoy that view only by yourselves.<\/p>\n
Sun goes down and it is time to look for overnight stay. Bakersfield<\/strong> is largest town on the way. There are plenty of motels there, so I think it is best place to spend a night before heading to Death Valley tomorrow<\/a>.<\/p>\n
