Might as well start here before Ask Any Question...
Has anyone been to Yosemite in February? In my head I'd planned to drive from SF to Yosemite, I'd like to do some "light" hiking/gazing around in awe at the various peaks then drive east and down to Death Valley for some bonus tourist points, before heading back to LA and a flight to Auckland. This would all be late spring-early summer or something and conditions would be perfect, but that doesn't work when you're trying to catch the arse end of summer in NZ so we'll be there earlier than planned...
I've seen Tioga Pass is closed in winter as are the road through the parks/forests above/below so getting to Death Valley looks unlikely. We won't have full winter gear with us and it looks like the majority of trails will be closed, leaving impressive scenery and "light nature walks". Reckon it's worth heading there or should I just stick to the coast road from SF to LA, get to NZ a bit quicker and hope we're not to skint to visit on the way back...
