Although some parts I still want to see again, like the Highway One (we didn&#8217;t see that much in 2015, no hikes &#8230;). But I needed to see the Yosemite National Park once again, Yosemite was my favorite during the 2015 trip. We actually didn&#8217;t get to see the Tioga Pass due to snow in November (not unexpected).
