<p>Can you do an open jaw airfare and fly into Reno (if you really want to do Tahoe) or Sacramento and fly out of SJC or SFO? I would really recommend flying into Sacramento if only to avoid the nasty Bay Area traffic. DV will be a stretch. I would pick either DV or Sequoia, not both. Plus there are so many cool things to do in and around SF i.e. wine country, the beaches, Santa Cruz, etc. Having spent a lot of time in the area and having been to DV, I would spend the remaining amount of time in SF proper. Save DV for when you do a Utah/Las Vegas type vacation.</p>
Trip to West No.2 - National Parks in California
<p>We had a great trip to PNW last year. Thanks, Matt/Joe and others for your help. I have never posted photos so here are some. </p>

<p> <span style="display:none;"> </span></p>
<p>Now I have started planning a trip to California. We would like to cover some of the places you guys mentioned last year but we couldn't visit due to our focus on OR/WA. </p>
<p>Here is a list of places we are going for sure (in this order due to lodging limitations). We are likely to flying to San Jose;</p>
<p>- Yosemite (cabin booking done!) - 3 nights</p>
<p>- Kings Canyon/Sequoia (lodge booking done!) - 3nights (may shorten)</p>
<p>- San Francisco</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Questions;</p>
<p>- We would love to visit Mono Lake/Lake Tahoe area. It doesn't seem to make sense to drive from Sequoia to the area and then to S.F. Should we drive via Mono/Tahoe Lake to get in Yosemite, from San Jose? We can fly one day earlier than planned so we have a day to spend around the lakes. Then Yosemite, then Sequoia.</p>
<p>- We have a total of possible 11 days; it would be great if we could extend our trip to Death Valley (from Sequoia), or going north from SF to Redwood. There seems to be no direct way to east from Sequoia to DV... not sure how long it will take to get to DV going around the south of Sequoia. Plus once you get DV, driving back all the way to SF seems to be a pain. Would it make sense to come back to the Bay area after Sequoia then drive to Redwood and spend a day? Or, forget the additional park and enjoy SF and Napa and all that fun for 4 days or so. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Any suggestions/advice would be appreciated. </p>
