Spending two nights at Dixon Lake Recreation Area just outside Escondido, California
After being on the road for over a week, our first multi-night stay was at Dixon Lake Recreation Area, just outside of San Diego, California. We had two sets of friends to visit in San Diego so we stayed for two nights.
Lassen Volcanic National Park
Our final park of the trip was Lassen Volcanic National Park. After driving for four hours we arrived at the park just before lunch. We stopped for a bite to eat in the visitor center parking lot before heading out to explore. We found some smelly bubbly puddles, some stunning lakes and a lot of trees.
Yosemite National Park
Our penultimate park for the trip was Yosemite and it was perhaps the park we were most excited to see. It definitely lived up to the hype and we will for sure be visiting again!
Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks
After a very short visit to Sequoia National Park we drove up and around to Kings Canyon and got to see the second largest tree in the world!
Death Valley National Park
After 3 days parked up and exploring Zion National Park, we hit the road again and drove through a couple states to get to Death Valley. We spent the night just outside the park at The Pads, an awesome dispersed camping site that we highly recommend if you're in the area! In the morning we headed out into the park and spent a few hours exploring all the highs and lows the park has to offer.
