Yosemite National Park & Sequoia Redwoods National Park

From San Francisco it was a days drive south in California's central valley then east up to Yosemite. Yosemite is the Disney World of the National Parks. More people visit this one than any other. Glad we did not try to stay inside the park. The CGs in the valley are not set up for RVs our size at all. We found a CG in Mariposa. We did 2 days in the area. First day we parked the truck & used our bikes on the very extensive paved bike trail system. The trails were very quiet compared to the very busy shuttle buses running between the sights. The second day we drove out to the end of Glacier Point road to get the views over the valley.
