Hello RTA!
I am planning a road trip around 22nd of March 2017.
Planning to drive from
San Francisco to Yosemite
Reach, next two days explore park, fourth morning leave.
Spend three nights there.
(I believe I can enter from Arch Rock Entrance or Big Oak Flat Entrance. Maybe take a detour and try the Southern Entrance. Any advice on where to stay, as close to the Park (or inside) as possible. Wanted to stay at Yosemite Valley Lodge but it seems there is no availability.)
Nearby Yosemite are some small old Gold Rush era towns. Any recommendations on visiting any such places?
Then Yosemite to Death Valley.
Spend two nights there.
Anything near DV?
Then DV to LA
Spend maybe 3 nights (want to set up some work related meetings as well)
Then come back to SF.
Any advice on best routes (scenic), and best places to eat/sleep in?
Anything else that I should keep in mind?
