Subject: RE: Pacific Coast Highway/ Yosemite/ Tahoe?Just a point of clarification, the PCH only exists in southern CA, north of SF, it's just CA-1 and US-101. And from Eureka to Napa, it's kinda boring once you get south of the Redwoods, as it's all inland. The coast of Oregon is quite nice though ![](http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4056/4492204454_c5f0e8eefb.jpg)
However, I love Yosemite. For the 6 years I lived in CA, I averaged 3 trips a year there (it was just a 2 hour drive from home). Two years ago, I did go in May. It snowed. When I took this picture, I was halfway up Yosemite Falls, and it started snowing. Nothing accumulated though. ![](http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4007/4637227841_0431e2353e.jpg)
If you venture out of the valley, you can hike around meadows, and see lots of stuff without crowds. However, in May, there usually aren't too many crowds anyway, it's still kinda chilly. ![](http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4068/4637227955_18cb556c5f.jpg)
Never done too much touristy stuff around Tahoe (also a 2 hour drive from my old place), Nordic skiing in the winter, hiking in the summer. Can get VERY snowy, or not depending on the winter. Went for a hike 4th of July weekend, 2011, and had to cut it short due to snow. ![](http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6006/5902592244_e43c74480e.jpg)
