Hello all!
I'm in the beginning stages of planning a trip to Yosemite and Sequoia NP next June. We've never been past the Rockies...so I need lots of advice. Details are as follows:
Cast: DH, DD15, DS11 and me
Dates: June 10th-17th (3 1/2 days in Yosemite, 2 1/2 in SNP)
We'll be flying and renting a car, which brings me to my first question...
Where do we fly into and about how much can I expect to pay for flights from Indy.? (We usually fly SW to Florida and I can do it for the four of us for between $600-$800; I have a feeling this trip will be lots more $$$$$!)
Other questions buring holes in my brain:
Which park should we visit first? How far is it between the two?
Where should we stay? We like rustic cabins WITH bathrooms. So far I'm thinking of the Yosemite lodge and the Cedar Grove Lodge OR Grant Grove Cabins. I'd like to book soon as I know the room fill quickly.
How is the weather in June? (We were in YNP and GTNP last June and had it all!)
What activities do you suggest? We went on a float in GTNP but the kids would like more action if we do that again. I was thinking of a horseback ride, too.
That's all I can think of at the moment, but I bet there will be more. Thanks for any suggestions, tips or comments you can share!
