A short visit to my cousin in Fairfield as we moved towards Northern California. We visited a museum, the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, and did some wine tasting.

Since we couldn’t reserve any campsites in advance, we decided to just visit Yosemite as a day trip from Fresno.

In the second national park of our road trip, we camped at Sentinel Campground and hiked the Hotel Creek and Woods Creek Trails.

We started our long road trip with one-day visit to Sequoia National Park, where we hiked the Congress Trail and the top of Moro Rock.

A plan for a long-dreamed road trip around the western United States, including a map of the 23 National Parks we wanted to visit, and gear we took with us.
