Went in 2019- highlights were Yosemite, Tioga Pass, Death Valley.

People saying SF is a dump is like saying London is a dump. It isn’t but there are good and bad bits.

Alcatraz was excellent and we cycled from the city centre to Sausalito and ferry back. Never felt unsafe but as with any city it has its problems with drugs and homeless.

Didn’t think much of LA but some of the coastal towns we stayed at were nice.
