WOW, thanks for all the info. I wasnt planning on staying in Fresno to sight see, just to sleep..

By the responses, im guessing you need a day in each park.
I also thought about flying into Tahoe and coming down that way.

A little history on my family... We arent staying in any kind of 'tent'! We are not the hiking kind of family. We will obviously walk around, but 3-4 hike?? Doubtful.. Sad, i know, but thats real.. I know we miss out on a lot of things that way, but it just kinda happened that way over the years. We hiked for @ 1 hour or so in the Grand Canyon, and thats about our max!
