Explore the beautiful Californian National parks this summer in an RV. Explore the magnificent Yosemite Valley, Death Valley and other lovely forests while driving the 395 north.
Pick up an RV in Los Angeles and head north(ish) to the national parks. The first state park you'll come across is Red Rock Canyon State Park. Explore the scenic desert features and spectacular rock formations then veer off to the left in the direction of Isabella Lake. It's surrounded by the lovely Sequoia National Forest amid the Kern River Valley.

Get back on the main road and cruise past the mostly dry Owens Lake in Sierra Nevada.
Pull off the 395, park up the RV and stay for a while at Diaz Lake Recreation Area. Camping spaces are large enough for RV's and you have free regn to fish, swim, picnic. The kids have a play area and the camp grounds are well-shaded around the shore.
The town of Lone Pines follows , the base of Mt. Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous US. Feel the euphoria as you reach the summit of Mt. Whitney, if you can manage the climb. It's an incredible vantage point with Death Valley almost in view.

As you near Yosemite National Park and leave the more desert scenery behind, come to June Lake. June Lake is a beautiful lake with plenty of recreational activities to choose from. Swim in the calm waters, try your hand at some fishing, Jump in a kayak or canoe and go for a paddle or take a hike on one of the many national park trails. A seasonal farmer's market provides you with fresh healthy food, so pack a picnic and sit lakeside all day.

Ah, there is nothing I love more than waterfalls. There’s also nothing I hate more than the hike to get to one, but I have my son to push me that way. I’m renting an RV to “try out” and we might buy one later. I figure it will be easier for my wife since we have a baby. She hated tent camping until I bought a Tailgater portable satellite dish from a Dish co-worker. Now she doesn’t “hate” camping, but she enjoys watching TV when she’s with the baby. She even sets it up herself since it has an auto direction satellite finer.
ReplyDeleteAhh yes, RV's make life a lot easier when you have a baby, and likewise with satellite dishes. Are you planning on traveling through California in your RV rental?
