Just a very good time-lapse video shot at Yosemite National Park

[Seagull over Canaryland]

Have been fortunate enough to visit Yosemite a few times and fully agree it is one of the wonders of the World. Anyone visiting the west coast should make the effort, it is well worth it and allow at least a day or two to do it justice. It is one of the reasons why the contrasting scenery of the west coast etc knocks spots off the east coast of the US. Too many punters judge the US on the basis of a visit to Florida, where the landscape is pretty uninspiring.

A word of caution the Sierras can receive unseasonal snowfalls in June/July so do not be surprised to be issued with snow chains for your hire car.........on one visit the main routes were impassable, necessitating a significant detour - but great if skiing is your thing. You can be wearing winter clothing and two hours later switching to shorts and flip flops for the descent into Death Valley.

This year - 4 and 11.

Stamina of my youngest would be my obvious concern.

And not the oldest?

Would love to get in & around Yellowstone too, & the national parks of Western Canada.

Breathtaking.

I got altitude sickness in the car going up the mountain. It really is a magnificent and inspiring place. The only place I have actually ever felt intimidated and amazed by nature at the same time.

Love to go, and planning to when the kids are old enough. Going to travel by Motorhome once the youngest is about 7 or 8. Driven on the sea to sky highway from Vancouver to Whistler in my younger years. Breathtaking scenery.

Breathtaking.

oooh I'd almost forgotten about Yellowstone. Another simply outstanding place to visit, almost like another world at times. The West and mid-west of the US is just chock full of scenic gems.

If you really want to see alot of stunning scenery in a limited time, fly to Vegas then do the Grand Circle. From the Grand Canyon to the parks of Utah the country is really breathtaking.
