Yosemite or Sequoia?

[Wade Lippman]

I will be the outside the box and suggest some where different. Both of these parks are worth seeing, but since you are coming from the UK, I suggest you visit my wife's (she is from Scotland) favorite park, Glacier National Park in Montana. Another option would be Yellowstone as there is no place like it in the world. You could make a side trip to see the Tetons immediately south of Yellowstone too.

Just a thought. Likely your time is already planned and you will be in California only, but worth considering.

Well, if we are recommending places nowhere near California, I will recommend Katmai.

We spent 5 days at Yosemite a few years ago. Definitely worth the visit. We rented a house about 45 minutes away in Mariposa. It was kind of a pain to drive back and forth each day but it was nice to do some activities away from the large park crowds also. Haven't been to Sequoia to make a comparison.
