Hi,
I've been reading the forum (and the site) for years but have only just joined.
I'm currently planning a trip to the US in February. A (non-photographer) friend has offered to take me on a week's road trip in his 4wd through California: LA to Yosemite (via Bakersfield, Fresno and the 41), then Monterey, Big Sur, and down the coast to San Diego. It's obviously a lot of ground to cover in a week, and I'm looking at it more as a sightseeing trip with occasional photography than a "real" shooting trip, as I'd drive him crazy otherwise
I've also got the additional complication that I'm partially disabled - I can walk, but only very short distances - a mile total in a day is about my limit.
I'm keen to photograph some sequoias in the snow while I'm there, but in my online research I haven't been able to find any groves that are within easy reach of a road at this time of year - and preferably a road that's not too far off our route. We looked at doing the 198 and the 180 through Sequoia/Kings Canyon, but decided against, as it'd just take too long. The 245 and 180 to Grant's Grove is still an option, but it still seems like a fair distance off our route to me.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
thanks,
Miriam
