Au réveil, aucun problème n’était survenu pendant la nuit et on réalise même que notre emplacement de camping est tout simplement génial. Il faisait noir quand nous sommes arrivés et nous nous étions, sans le savoir, réfugiés sous un séquoia géant.
YOSEMITE
Nos premiers kilomètres dans le parc nous ont attristés, la forêt était ravagée par le feu. Des arbres immenses morts et la végétation quasi disparus. Toutefois en lisant le journal que les rangers provide, we learned that redwood need fire to reproduce. So here we are again as in Central America with controlled burning around us ... So I said, there is not just humans who like to cuddle by the fire!
Our visit was magical park, the park offers incredible views.
Yosemite Valley is a 11 km that is surrounded by huge rock walls including El Capitan, a real paradise for climbing!
We also contemplated the largest waterfalls in North America in height (739 meters).
short, we spent several hours in this park to enjoy nature and scenery available to us.
+ At 9000 feet, it has been renewed with our remembrance of Quebec when it was left ... There's snow. It is 2-3 pitch snowballs simulating war toques, toque but because it's hot.
PO dream of putting on his skis, but let's not exaggerate, there are only a few patches of snow.
Many "Wowwww" filled the silence of our day ...
Luckily, we decided to sleep in Big Pine in a parking lot inviting all near McDonalds.
It was reassuring to a PO MacDonalds, he can have a coffee in the morning! Haha Good thing we stayed there, because when we do the road in the morning, we see that finally we were very close to the borders of Death Valley and the warmth of his deadly desert.
The record temperature recorded was 56.6 ° C. The super guide Lonely Planet , told us shows up 3 liters of water each (including resigning for the radiator). It's so hot, it is noon, we decide to take the shortest route to cross Death Valley. Once again, the scenery is breathtaking. Everything is huge, going from 5000 feet to 200 feet below sea level and this, in a territory or even dare not grow cacti. The huge pile of rocks appear to be scorched by the sun and you can see the steam emanating from it.
the hollow of the valley, we made a stop at the Visitor Center and we pretend to shop for the benefit of air conditioning for 10 minutes. It makes new supplies of fresh water and it pushes the death, rather its valley to join the fabulous city of Las Vegas (full of life!).
