Travel Report
California (Hiking in Yosemite National Park, Round Trip by Car)
June 7-29, 2009
This is the travel report (or at least a selection of 360 photos, including 65
panoramic ones) for our California round trip in June 2009.
We stayed in the great(er) San Francisco area for a few days, and then headed
for Yosemite National Park for two multi-day hikes. Finally, we returned to
San Francisco in a big loop along Mono Lake and through Death Valley to Los
Angeles, and then north on Coastal Highway 1 through Santa Barbara, Monterey,
and Half Moon Bay.

Panoramic Images
This page shows all 65 panoramic images taken on
our round trip, in chronological order.
Hints
If you click on a small thumbnail picture, another browser window opens and
shows the same picture in a bigger size. You can keep that window opened, as
other pictures will also be shown there. You can also use the forward/back
links in that window to look at all pictures. Don't forget to scroll right on
panoramic images!
Most picture captions provide coordinates and the elevation of the place the
picture was taken at. Clicking the coordinates opens a map at maps.google.com, in which the picture
location should be indicated. Note that there is a varying measuring error in
the coordinates and the elevation, depending on the local quality of GPS
satellite reception.
The pictures with a number starting with the digit 2 have been taken with a
Canon PowerShot S500; all other pictures with a Canon EOS 400D.
Among my other travel reports there are two more covering
California: USA 2000 and USA 2001.
Comments, corrections, etc. are always welcome.
