Yosemite/Kings Canyon/Sequoia “must do” advice sought

If you are inside these national parks, there's nothing much to see for a day trip until you travel to the coasts, LA or San Francisco.

And in Yosemite, if you are outside, you pretty much spend much of the day traveling in and out of the park and its popular destinations. If you are self-driving, be careful with those speed limits, the rangers are deadly serious about compliance and won't hesitate to give you the ticket.
