It was New Year's Day, and I walked around looking for coffee while the car was charging. Most businesses were closed, I saw that the cafe at the bookstore said "Open" but the bookstore was closed. The cafe was closed too. There is a second had equipment store that sells ski, hiking, biking gear, and also a fly fishing store. Both places didn't allow me to use their restrooms....I would have liked to visit some of the interesting stores, but they were closed. I like the feel of the main street shopping area, feels like West Yellowstone.

Many of the cars are covered in colorful graffiti and artwork, which makes the whole place feel like a giant open-air art installation. When I visited there were only a few other people around, so it was quiet and easy to explore. I was even able to get some great drone footage without worrying about crowds. Definitely a unique stop if you're traveling through the area.

There are two museums in this town, both well worth checking out. If you do a little google search you'll see there's several historic old buildings you can take a peak at. I've included photos of several of them. Be sure to check out the Clown Motel right next to the historic cemetery. Even though we weren't staying there the owner was nice enough to let us come in and take some photos. We stayed at the Mizpah Hotel. Supposedly a haunted hotel. Even if you're not staying there go inside and have a drink at the bar. The place is amazing. Rather then just speeding through this town slow down a bit and enjoy it.

The owner and staff were super welcoming and walked us through all their offerings, which made the experience even better. We kicked things off with a cider flight--our favorites were Early Harvest and Graveyard. Early Harvest was simple, crisp, and just sweet enough, while Graveyard reminded me of a Scottish smoky cider aged in whiskey barrels. I do wish there were a few more sweet options overall and possibly a current up to date list of what's on tap somewhere online, but everything was well-crafted and flavorful! To cool off, we grabbed a cider slushy (highly recommend!) and wandered the property. We visited the goats, strolled through the apple trees, and made friends with their big fluffy Pyrenees who was living his best life napping in the shade. I picked up a bottle of Early Harvest and a t-shirt to bring back to DFW. It was the perfect stop--relaxed, local, and a great way to start the afternoon before heading into Yosemite. After our tasting, we walked through some of the apple trees, visited the cutest goats, and made friends with their big, lazy Pyrenees dog who was living his best life soaking up attention. I picked up a bottle of Early Harvest and a t-shirt to bring back to DFW--both worth it! Such a charming little spot--relaxed, scenic, and just the right detour before Yosemite!

He not only is professional but compassionate with all students. For example, I had a couple students who were afraid to approach and one who didn't even lift their head or turn toward Santa. Mike simply said, "you don't have to talk to me but I'm your teacher's friend. I'm just here to be your friend also." All of a sudden the student lifted their head and became a part of the activity. I would highly recommended Mike "Santa Claus" Alexander to any holiday party or get together!

My partner saw an ad for this place on Instagram and we decided to make it our destination for a several day road trip. The campsite was well-equipped and well-described on their website, so I would highly recommend reading through their website before booking. It's exactly as described! The stargazing itself was very educational and flexible based on what we and other campers wanted to see. Our host was even gracious enough to get up again at 3 am to show us Saturn as he told us it would be visible the night we went. Even after the late night/early morning session, he prepared coffee for the group bright and early.

The technology and accommodations were as advertised. The clever lunar lighting of the camp was a particular highlight. It creates a transported vibe, while allowing you safely navigate the space while keeping your eyes primed for stargazing. Finally, Scott is a laid back, friendly, informative and helpful host. You're on the side of a mountain, so definitely be prepared for chilly nights. Also, as others have mentioned, it is a prerequisite that you know how to click a Google maps link and follow the directions ;) Overall, can't recommend exploring the ESO highly enough!

Best not to go in the heat of summer however! The museum asks for donations only - just $10, well worth it!!
