It is pretty amazing that San Francisco, Yosemite, and Death Valley are all in the same state. They have such different settings and attributes. We started our day in Yosemite with 65 degrees, wearing jackets, surrounded by tall trees and stone walls. We exited Yosemite NP at Tioga Pass, 9945 feet. Eight hours later, we ended the day in desert with 105 degrees at 6:00 pm, sand dunes, and -191 below sea level. We even passed two coyotes jogging along the road when we approached Furnace Creek. What an amazing trip!
Lake Tenaya in Yosemite NP
Manzanar, CA, one of ten camps where 110,000 Japanese Americans
were incarcerated during WWII.
Look at how the world changed as we drove east.
Every shade of brown is in the surrounding rock.
Getting close to Furnace Creek, where we will be staying.
Once we finally arrived, we were happy to discover the swimming
pool. Lots of guests joined us for a swim at dusk, but we were the only
ones who had noodles.
Time to go outside for star gazing.
