Could have fooled me!
Tfk is a great source for info
Donāt rent bikes, cycle across the golden gate to Sausalito, have a lovely lunch, eat an edible cannabis jelly, take the ferry back and have to cycle up one of the busiest streets in San Francisco to return the bikes extremely stoned

Are you driving between all these places?
Thatās a possibility but my friend is off the road so Iām not sure I want to do all the driving.
Whatever you do donāt go to Vegas on 5 May.
Why?
Because Iām planning to go to Vegas on 5 May.

Donāt do all that driving, with two weeks you are tight anyway for time. I did a good circuit there in 2ā14 so my two cents is.
3 nights max in Vegas, youāll have to go off the strip to find divilment. Cinco de mayo would be good craic there. Mind the max betting or youāll be eating in Taco Bell for the remainder. Get a car and do the Grand Canyon, drop the car off in flagstaff or Phoenix then and fly to San Diego.
In San Diego stay in Pacific beach and go down to the gaslamp district and ride American students. Try go at a weekend, if the padres are in itās a nice few hours watching baseball too, go to Tijuana, coronado and north to the classy suburbs.
Jump in a plane again, avoid LA and the Pacific coast, which while nice, is the sea and Irish people see enough of that. Go to San Fran, definitely do Alcatraz, bike the bridge to Sausalito, go for pints with Labane in Berkeley. But what you have to do is rent a car in SF and drive to Yosemite for two nights, stay in the park, the drive is nice but the scenery out there is outta this world.

Have you seen much of the parks? I was going to go to sequioa (spelling?). Iād love to see the giant redwoods.
Heād be better off driving from Vegas to SF, via Death Valley and Yosemite

Absolutely, we did the opposite but thatās a lot of driving for one lad.
Went to Stanislaus inyo and Death Valley so I missed that but Iām sure itās worth a trip. But Iād go to Death Valley or Grand Canyon first. Even up into red rock. Or you could do Utah from Vegas if you had a week to spare. Thatās my plan this year.
I did ask in a visitor centre in Yosemite where were the redwoods so big thereās a tunnel through them. Thought that would be a great photo opportunity. I was told they were in far Northern California near Oregon, to my disappointment. Iām a roaster.

San Fran to Portland isnāt much further than San Diego Iād say, that would rule out Vegas obviously and itās probably not what the young fellas interested in but thatās a road trip Iād love to take.
Itād be good but youād have to get off the I-5 and crisscross Oregon and California to get a bit of variation, thecoast and crater lake etc. Not sure thereās much to see in Northern California. A great Pacific coast drive though. As Blake pointed out and I did, SF-Yosemite-Death Valley-Vegas-Grand Canyon is the one to do. But youād want to love driving if you had to do all of it.

Yeah, Utah is unbelievable. Zion is simply breathtaking, I couldāve stayed there a fortnight doing all the hikes. Bryce Canyon is brilliant too.
