California Extension - Sept (CBE1502)
25 Sep 2015
Day 4 - Fish Camp to Visalia
Our last big park of this long California & Southwest USA road trip: Sequoia Nation Park with its giant redwoods. You can't realise how big those trees are until you stand in front of them, and feel very very very little.
Day 3 - Mammoth Lakes to fish Camp
Crossing the Sierra is on the menu for today! What a delight! Leaving Mammoth Lakes through the scenic loop in a cool morning weather is the best way to wake up! June lake loop is already around the corner, and before mid morning we are climbing the famous Tioga pass almost touching 10.000ft. The afternoon is gonna bring us into Yosemite Valley, always spectacular with El Capitan on one side and Half Dome (seen from Glacier Point is even better) on the other side.
Day 2 - Death Valley to Mammoth Lakes
Second day, and quite a change of landscape from morning to evening! From 200ft below sea level and around 96F at 9am, we pass the 9000ft in the afternoon with a temperature below 60F. Ok, too many numbers, just enjoy the pics!
Day 1 - Las Vegas to Death Valley
The group is getting smaller, only Wendy, Joe and Noah will continue the tour with Manuel, while everyone else is goign back home. The first day brings us from the craziness of Vegas to the remote solitude of Death Valley, magical atmosphere in this oasis in the desert under a million stars.
