The last part of the journey - south on snaky Highway 1 along the ultramarine waves of the Pacific Ocean

Southwest part 6: San Francisco

From Lake Tahoe we drove South-West and finally reached the Pacific Coast at wonderful San Francisco.

Southwest part 5: From Yosemite to Lake Tahoe

Leaving Yosemite Valley, we drove through Sierras with the view of mountains...

Southwest part 4: Yosemite Valley

After Utah, Death Valley and Sequoia's we reached the place that for me so far is the crown jewel of California - the magnificent Yosemite Valley. The first panorama is the view on the valley from the Glacier point, Half-Dome is on the right

Southwest part 3: Giant Sequoia's

After Utah (part 1) and Death Valley (part 2), we explored the Sequoia National Forest and finally saw the giant sequoia's, the world's oldest and tallest living organisms. (Finally, since we miserably failed during last year trip from Oregon, as I hit some metal cord on the road, and instead of coastal Redwoods we spent two days in creepy town of Eureka - but that's totally another story.)

Southwest part 2: Death Valley

The second leg of our journey through the Southwest (part 1 is here) took us through ...

...the Death Valley National Park
