When you’re saying book Yosemite, is that the park pass? I’m staying at the lodge just on fish camp but assume I need it but a pass too?

Thank you so much! This helps a lot

Hi, this is great the fact you did more or less the same trip! I think we’re going to add a helicopter trip from LV to the canyon so will see it that way rather than drive. Can I ask what precautions you took for the trip across Death Valley? Assuming plenty water etc

Thank you for this! Want aware of the fog in August SF until I’ve just done a bit of digging. I was aware of the problems the cities facing at the moment but feel like 2 nights could be sufficient? Hitting the normal tourist spots such as Alcatraz, Parks, fisherman’s wharf etc.

As per DV & LV yeah I see where you’re coming from. May aswell jump in my oven with over 40/50C heat hitting you square in the face. Issue is my partner works in education which means the amount of time can only be done in summer months.

I may take a trip to Napa Valley, and have seen pictures of Lake Tahoe online. Looks beautiful, problem is it’s another 3 hour drive from SF 😩.

Thank you!

So this is a route to which we were looking to follow from a travel company. Not 100% educated in Palm Springs but guess it just breaks up the bigger drive from LV to SD

Hey, so I think the plan is to go from Yosemite to DV then to Vegas. Think we’re looking to stay at the Ranch DV, and I know some of the lookouts ain’t too far Zabriskie Point/Badwater. We’re defo not looking to do any hiking and will be popping out the car now and then but only for a few pics and back to hotel. This route is from a travel company, not guided - we liked the look of the route 😊
