2016 California Vacation

Photography road trip: San Francisco, Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks, and West Coast Highway #1

My vacation arose on somewhat short notice when I realized how much PTO time I needed to use or lose before year end. With just under a month to plan I jumped onto the NPS (National Park Service) websites to research Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks. I upgraded my AAA memership to take advantage of premier services. And, I purchased my airline tickets and car rental. I would fly into San Francisco, pick up the rental car, do a little city sight-seeing, get overnight accommodations outside of town, and the next day begin my road trip in earnest. The plan was to spend most of my time exploring Yosemite, get acquainted with Sequoia, and enjoy part of the West Coast on my way back up to San Francisco to fly home.

San Francisco Bus Touring

There are several San Francisco bus tours you can take for some sight-seeing. I found mine at Union Square, where there was a station there for the Hop-On, Hop-Off tours. The nice thing about this tour is just what the name says, that you can hop off at places of interest, do some shopping or sight-seeing on foot, and then hop back on again when you're ready to continue with the riding part of the tour. Don't forget to bring a jacket, hat, or scarf however. The ocean air can be very cool even on a summer day!
