The trip in short
From Los Angeles north into the Sierra Nevada. At Three Rivers you stand under the General Sherman Tree in Sequoia and Kings Canyon, the largest tree on earth. Three nights at Mariposa for Yosemite, with Half Dome, El Capitan and the waterfalls, then over the mountains to the clear water of Lake Tahoe. Three days in San Francisco and its Golden Gate Bridge to end. The giant trees and granite of California's national parks.
