Yosemite National Park & Death Valley


Once again, we're a little behind on the blog. There's a lot to fill in on - firstly here's some pics of Yosemite where we headed to from San Francisco. You can't compare it to Yellowstone in terms of beauty as they are very different and both very beautiful, but we really loved Yosemite and would love to come back sometime. The national park 'system' and rules are the same, but its far more laid back, it was less busy, less expensive and Yosemite Valley, which has the biggest rock cliffs in the world, was stunning.

We saw a bear!! It was so lucky as they're so rarely seen near the roads and villages, but this one got himself stranded on a crossroad near a village!
After a couple of nights camping in Yosemite, we headed to Las Vegas via Independence (where we caught some locations of where Electroma was filmed) & Death Valley - the hottest place on earth. Its a very dramatic desert landscape. Very beautiful. We hit it at 6pm and it was still 43 degrees when we left at 9pm. We kept getting out of the car just to experience it. Again, there was a strong breeze but it was really hot too! At midday in the summer its average temperature is 47 degrees!
