Artist's Palette. Death Valley
Submitted by Agustín Gómez on Wed, 14/12/2011 - 10:28
One of the attractions of Death Valley National Park is the place known as the artist's palette. It is important to wake up early in the morning to see the sunrise in this place, and delight with natural colors that are observed in different rocks.
These colors come from the composition of different minerals, including iron which gives you red, sulfur yellow and green mica.
Yosemite in winter time
Submitted by Agustín Gómez on Fri, 02/12/2011 - 10:26
In winter, Yosemite National Park is partialy closed becauso of the snow up on the high passes, but there is a lot of Park accessible for getting lost a few days on it. To reach the Glacier Point and enjoy the spectacular views of Half Dome, you can do well on foot or skis, as they trace the machine until the end of the road where you can camp. And though it's winter, do not forget food in the car, and when you sleep, leave the food in the boxes entitled to do so... unless you want to see a bear pretty close to you!

In the southern Sierra Nevada, about 4 hours drive from LA, we reach the Sequoia National Park, where we see some of the tallest trees in the world. And if you're lucky, you'll see bears crossing the road or in the woods. They say that if you find one, you have to make noise with whatever, and run to him... just do it!
San Francisco
Submitted by Agustín Gómez on Sat, 19/11/2011 - 20:20
Without a doubt, San Francisco is one of those cities that are worth visiting at least once in life. Bastion of the liberal movement in U.S.A. and with great street life, is a city for walking or taking the trams that run on its steep slopes, visit the islands of the bay, or get lost by their different and special neighborhoods. And if you have a car, do not hesitate to go down the coast on Route 101.
Grand Canyon, where to sleep
Submitted by Agustín Gómez on Tue, 15/11/2011 - 14:23
Right at the entrance of the National Park, we will find one of the campsites in the area in which we can sleep. If you arrive in the afternoon, do not worry about the guard, just get relax and wait for the next day to solve it. But if you want more amenities, there are villages around with accommodations.
Alcatraz Prison
Submitted by Agustín Gómez on Thu, 03/11/2011 - 11:49
At the heart of San Francisco Bay, we visit the legendary Alcatraz prison, known locally as The Rock, as it is a piece of pop rock single of 8 hectares. Today has been declared as National Park and sightseeing can be done every day of the year, taking a boat from the pier 33. How hard would it be to be locked up and watch the sailboats and people walking in front of the prison ....

Within Death Valley National Park, between the Mojave and Sonoran deserts, we found depression Badwater, which at 282 feet below sea level, it features of being the lowest point in North America. It's amazing the contrast of the desert surrounded by the snowy peaks of Mount Whitney (4421 m).
Surf in California
Submitted by Agustín Gómez on Sat, 09/07/2011 - 10:23
Los Angeles, and in general throughout California from San Francisco to San Diego, is a paradise for surfing. Each spot has its own characteristics and certainly not easy to find a spot with no people... surfing is almost sport par excellence of California.
Yosemite - National Park
Submitted by Viajes Desorgan... on Wed, 06/07/2011 - 12:15
About 300 km east of San Francisco we found the Yosemite National Park, with its huge granite boulders make this place a world´s paradise for climbing. It was a relevant point in the development of the idea of national parks in the world, thanks to the work of John Muir .
In winter there are routes for ski-touring, though some part of the park may be closed to vehicles.
There are a few campsites in the park entrance that serve as base camp for various activities... Awesome place!

If there is a place in the world that can be considered the paradise of vice and gambling, this is the city of Las Vegas.
All hotels are small theatrical performances from around the world, you can travel on trains, Venetian gondolas and roller coasters that go in and out of hotels. You can enjoy the shows of Cirque du Soleil, and each casino will give away alcohol and cigarettes while you are playing... that's crazy!

In the Sequoia National Park (California) we enjoy with the living creature with the biggest volume that currently exists on the earth: the General Sherman. It is estimated that this tree has an estimated age of 2,500 years, and it takes 16 people with outstretched arms to encircle its base ... almost nothing!
