Anything you would add/omit from this itinerary?
August 11th
Fly into Seattle, WA & pick up rental
August 12th
North Cascades National Park
August 13th
Olympic National Park
August 14th
Seattle, WA
August 15th
Mt. Rainier National Park
August 16th
Unplanned day to do whatever/Drive to Troutdale, OR
We have a hotel reserved for 5 nights in Port Orchard, WA. We chose here because we can ferry into Seattle from here, and it's fairly close to Olympic National Park and Mt. Rainier National Park. North Cascades will be a lengthy day trip, but if it works out right, we may try staying in Burlington or Mt. Vernon so that we're closer the day we wanna hike North Cascades. We added in a "free" day just for the heck of it, although we've already kind of honed in on Blanca Lake in Wild Sky Wilderness as something we may potentially wanna do.
August 17th
Drive to Bend, OR
Would love some suggestions between Troutdale and Bend. We probably will skip Columbia River Gorge because of the fires that closed basically everything down. We thought Canyon Creek Meadows looked awesome, but we're open for anything on the way or near the 2 cities.
August 18th
Drive to Weed, CA
For this portion, we basically have planned to see Toketee Falls in Umpqua National Forest, and then drive through Crater Lake National Park, and probably hike Garfield Peak. From there, we basically just plan to reach Weed and call it a day.
August 19th
Drive to Oakhurst, CA
This will definitely be the longest drive of the trip. We plan to swing by Burney Falls to see that, and then plan a quick drive through Lassen Volcanic National Park (we'll probably hike Bumpass Hell). From there, we have zilch planned besides the lengthy drive down to Oakhurst. We would love recommendations on anything else worth seeing along the way!
August 20th
Yosemite National Park
We absolutely want to hike Cloud's Rest, and will probably do so this day.
August 21st
Sequoia National Park
Don't really know what we wanna do here other than see big trees; General Sherman, Court Trail, and Moro Rock all look pretty cool though.
August 22nd
Yosemite National Park/Drive to Half Moon Bay, CA
We want to spend a good portion of this day back in Yosemite, but we don't know what we should hike after Clouds Rest.
August 23 & August 24th
San Francisco, CA
We have very few plans for San Francisco, besides wanting to see the beaches and coast and the Golden Gate Bridge; would love recommendations for sights to see in and around San Fran (we'll of course be staying in Half Moon Bay a little south of it, so anything close by to there too!)
August 25th
Drop off rental and fly home out of San Fran
Thank you!
