Located inside the McDonalds parking lot. The owners are so nice and make some of the best cappuccinos around and they really take the extra time to see how you are doing, what fun adventures you have been having. Really great people and great coffee.

Secret spots and things to do

One of my favorite evening spots on my way back from the park. -You may find long skewers in the pantry. Grab a few along with Smore supplies at Raley's and head to Tanaya Lodge Resort on your way back from the park. Head to the large fire pit in the back of the property for roasting your marshmallows and making of my favorite evening snack perched in one of their Lilly Tomlin style Adirondack chairs and pop open a favorite beverage. You can also book guided tours, maps from the concierge and pay for other excursions. *Christmas is beautiful there. A must-see is the adult size edible gingerbread houses and Christmas displays,. The ceiling height Christmas tree usually brought in front out of state is amazing. *

Sightseeing

https://ymsprr.com/ An exciting 4-mile railroad excursion located near the south gate of Yosemite National Park. Ride into history where powerful locomotives once hauled massive log trains through the Sierra Mountains. Where mighty lumberjacks felled the timber, and flumes carried lumber to the distant valley below. The Sierra National Forest’s majestic woods provide the backdrop for this narrow gauge journey back in time.
