Hi everyone.

I'm from the UK and am planning to drive from San Francisco to Yosemite, stay over night somewhere, and then drive to Las Vegas. I have read lots of threads on here, but am still overwhelmed!

I have never been to Yosemite, Death Valley or Vegas, so have no idea how long this would realistically take. Could someone please tell me:

  1. Is this trip do-able in two days? Would I have time to spend some time visiting yosemite (and going for a swim under the waterfalls)?
  2. Some threads on here suggest stopping off over night at the Yosemite Valley, some at Lee Vining and some June Lake. Which is best?
  3. If I leave San Francisco around 10am on August 25 at what time would I be at the hotel? And then at what time would I be in Vegas the next day?


Thanks so much for the desperately needed help!

Zach
