Driving Las Vegas to San Fransico via Death Valley

[Charlie Northern Star]

Hi

Me and my husband are going to the states for our Honeymoon. Flying in from Sweden. I have been reading a lot of these threads but I can't find out all the answers I want, but it has helped a lot, THANKS!!!

We are driving from Las Vegas on the 5th of November up north to San Francisco. We have time for one overnight stay somewhere, and would ofcourse like to see as much as possible. We where hoping on going via Death Valley and Yosemite, but according to viamichelin there are no good ways going that way. Can someone pls help us.

Also I have heard that a lot of roads can be closed during this season. Is there anyway to find out before I stand before the closed sign??

And last but least, any driving tips thats is good to know? How is the police over there, strict?

Thanks in advance!!!

Love Charlie (and yes I am a girl)
