Do you know the perfect time to visit Yosemite National Park? Right after Labor Day! It was not overly crowded, with plenty of parking at the viewpoints and in the valley. The weather was fabulous – not to hot – not too cold – all sunshine. On our way we stopped at the Pinion Picnic area in the Ancient Bristlecone Pines National Recreation Area for a high altitude picnic. We spent two nights in Mammoth Lakes which gave us time to visit some of the sites close in town. The second day was spent enjoying the incredible sights in Yosemite. 

On our third day, we descended on the thriving metropolis of Tonopah. The Central Nevada Museum was an excellent stop in town. After good BBQ at the Tonopah Brewery, we crashed the Mizpah Hotel Bar for a nightcap and socializing. 

We need to do this tour again!
