A family trip to California

My name is Amaia. Welcome to my first blog! I´m so excited because tomorrow, my parents, my partner and I are going to go on a hiking holiday in Yosemite (California, USA) for 3 days. I´ll write my blog at the end of every day to tell you what we did!😉

Day 1: Ready to go!

We woke up at 7 o´clock in te morning. We had a shower and we had breakfast. We put the suitcases in the car. Soon, we were ready to go. 


After about 3 hours, we arrived at Yosemite´s Park. First, we left the car in a parking area, we had a snack and we took our rucksacks with some food and water. After that, we took a photo in the entrance of the park and we went hiking to see the redwoods. 

    

                                 

At midday, we stopped in the middle of the woods to have lunch. We had some sandwiches. 

Later, we continued our route through Mariposa Grove (the area of the park we were visiting) 

                                          

After that, we went back to the car and we drove to the hotel where we were going to sleep. We left the luggage and we went to a restaurant to have dinner. We had pizza for dinner.

                                             

Finally, we returned to the hotel to sleep because we were really tired. 😥



Day 2: "El capitán"

It was a wonderful day. It was bright and sunny. We woke up early in the morning and we had a big breakfast to have energy for the day. After that, we started walking following a route to visit "El Capitán" which is one of the most famous mountains of the park. The landscape was incredible: trees, rivers, waterfalls... 

                                       

Suddenly, we saw smoke in the distance. Unluckily, there was a fire in the area and we couldn´t see the mountain "El capitán" because of the smoke. We could just see the shape of it.

                                                  

So, we changed our way and we went through "Tioga Road" by car. We stopped in many places with with wondeful views and we took plenty of photos. 


                                     

After a while, we arrived at a lake that was amazing. Although it was not very hot, we put on my swimsuit and we swam for a while. After that, we ate some sandwiches.

    
 
                                          
                           
 
Then, we drove to the next city and found out hotel. We had dinned in McDonalds and we went to bed.
  
 


Day 3: Death Valley

We woke earlier than the previous days. We had breakbast very quickly and we drove to Death Valley. The hottest and driest place I´ve ever visited. That´s why we got up very early in the morning.

During the morning we visited the most famous parts of this National Park. As it was extremely hot there, we put a lot of sun cream and we brought a los of water with us. All the route through the Valley was by car. We just lef the car to see some famous places and, of course, to take some photos. But, it was so hot that you could even fry an egg on the pavement.


The landscape looked like a desert in some areas. And the roads were long and straight. In this park we visited the lowest point on land of the Earth. 

      
                                           

Finally, when we finished visiting all the places we wanted to see, we took the car again and we drove to the next destination: The Grand Canyon!!!
