Description
Find your own journey. Yosemite, Sequoia and Kings Canyon bring together some of California’s great natural experiences in one travel guide. Lonely Planet provides ideas on how to experience mountain landscapes, forests, and valleys, helping you choose between the parks’ many opportunities. Half Dome, Mono Lake, and winter activities in Yosemite are among the gateways to a trip that can include both well-known viewpoints and time spent on foot.
Experiences and content. The book covers Yosemite, Sequoia, and Kings Canyon, including areas such as Badger Pass, Wawona, Tuolumne Meadows, and Hetch Hetchy. You will find suggestions for hikes, driving routes, and cycling trips, as well as camping and activities throughout summer and winter. More than 40 maps of parks and trails help you orient yourself. Content on history, geology, wildlife, and conservation provides background for the landscapes and the major natural experiences along the way.
Who is this guide suitable for? The guide is suitable for those who wish to make the park visits a central part of their journey through California. Practical advice on trips with children, clothing, and equipment helps you prepare for days outdoors. It covers both day trips and overnight excursions, allowing you to assess what fits your time, experience, and travel companions. Use the book to compare areas and assemble a plan with room for transport, stops, and your own excursions. It is useful for seeing several parks in context and understanding the differences between them.
From inspiration to your own plan. Use the guide before departure to select experiences you truly desire and see them in relation to the rest of the trip. A plan with fewer stops can provide more time to get to know each location. Browse through it with your travel companions, compare ideas, and find a balance between what you want to achieve and what you want to have time to experience. Also, allow certain days to have space for breaks and detours. A physical book is excellent to return to when discussing the next leg of the journey.
