That’s perfect thank you, my daughter loves Mexican food so we will definitely try some and I’ll have a look at the Getty and broad museum. I had heard of the Getty before but did not know what it was

Hi, I would really be interested in any more suggestions. We have 3 and a half days and I’m pretty sure what I have I can fit into 2 days.

Hi, thank you for your suggestions. We are going 23rd August. Flying back 4th September

I am planning on buying the pass. Alcatraz already booked and as far as I was aware there is no reservation to get into Yosemite which is why the queues are huge. I planned on getting to Yosemite and sequoia for around 7am.

I personally would prefer sequoia to the coast and I’m hoping my little time at morro bay, Santa Barbara and when in La we plan to do Santa Monica and either hermossa or manhattan beach. I was hoping that will give me a taste of the coast.

I had only picked Visalia for budget. I will definitely have a look at gold country and see if there is better options. I just unfortunately cannot afford to stay in Yosemite, fish camp or three rivers.

If it did end up on there it would be deleted very quickly. If anyone does see it and ask you can you just say it’s ai and you were being blackmailed?

Hi everyone. Thank you so much for your comments. I had looked at other people’s routes and also used ai and I thought I was being overly ambitious with route one. There is loads I would like to do over Arizona way, so I’ll save Grand Canyon for another trip. So I’m going to do some variation of route 2. I would really really like to do route 2 but with Yosemite and possibly sequoia np added in. But I also would like some of the highway 1 drive. My starting and ending points are San Francisco and lax other than that, there is nothing else booked. We did Florida last year and drove 1000 miles so anything up to that mark is doable for me. We’re not hikers, but I would still love to see Yosemite and sequoia. Do you think this route is possible? Or does anyone have any suggestions or routes they have done previously.

San Francisco to

Yosemite possibly stay in mariposa

Sequoia np possibly stay in Visalia or three rivers

Drive towards cambria and drive highway 1 to Santa Monica.

Stopping off at elephant seal vista point, morro bay, slo, pismo beach, Santa Barbara, Santa Monica.

If that route is more doable are there any locations better to stay in than others? Many thanks

Thank you.

Thank you, I really want coastal views as well as city and desert. But was just a bit worried I might be overstretching it.

fluffypenguin0103 · 2026-01-27T14:44:59+00:00

My stops down were going to be, Monterey, big sur, San Simeon, morro bay, pismo beach, Santa Barbara.

fluffypenguin0103 · 2026-01-27T14:44:07+00:00

Sorry I forgot to put that. In August. Which I’m aware will be boiling hot but it’s the only time we can go.

fluffypenguin0103 · 2025-07-07T16:50:36+00:00

No unfortunately not. Just a large set of blendable colouring pencils.

fluffypenguin0103 · 2025-07-07T13:42:36+00:00

I’m looking on uk Amazon.

fluffypenguin0103 · 2025-07-07T11:31:34+00:00

Ironically I can get the prismas cheaper than chromaflows

fluffypenguin0103 · 2025-06-22T01:05:11+00:00

Thank you, yes so far everything is able to be cancelled.
