The Scenic San Francisco to Los Angeles Tour via Las Vegas (Part I)
Best Time To Travel
Your best bets would be from September to November. Mid-Spring to mid-Autumn (April to October) are the most popular times to visit the national parks, but REMEMBER that some of our RV rental operators do not permit traveling in or traversing Death Valley in July and August due to high ground temperature. Also, Tioga Road, which leads to Yosemite National Park will be closed between mid-April to mid-June so avoid traveling during these months.
Visit the lovely wineries in Napa Valley before camping out at the gorgeous national parks of California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona and finishing at the beautiful city of Los Angeles.
The suggested RV parks do not have length limits, so you can take a motorhome of any size for this trip. We have great RVs For Hire from San Francisco.

Travel Tip
Although bears are naturally shy and stay away from people, it is still possible to encounter them in Yosemite. If a bear approaches you in a campground, make a lot of noise to scare it away. Keep your distance and do not use pepper spray. Read more about how to deal with a curious bear.
