I took the daytrip from SF to Yosemite today.
It is quite a long drive from San Francisco (4 hours including a rest stop half way), but it is certainly worth it. The first hour of the drive (once having passed the bay bridge) is a less interesting, but once you get to the central valley, the view starts to get interesting and the scenery keeps changing: Farms, drier land, a descent into the Sierra Nevada, getting into the forests of Yosemite.....
In Yosemite we had 3 hours of free time. Obviously this is not enough to see everything, but it is enough to walk around the valley, see the fall (although dry in this season), the meadows, the surrounding granite rocks.....
Molly was the perfect guide for this trip. Thanks a lot for taking us to Yosemite . And thanks a lot for advising the California Turkey ;-)
Truly recommended
