We did make it, but it was late afternoon when we got there and they the mandatory shuttles are in force so we pretty much just checked it out and then caught the next bus back.
But that is the risk we take with our unplanned travel. Sometimes it just works out that we don't have the time we'd have otherwise wanted. But we've scoped it out and know it is an area we'd enjoy returning to. The tufas at Mono Lake were amazing too.
Here's a picture of the Postpiile. Fortunately early evening is the exact right time to be there.
Here's the meadow there. I think I'm going to have to say it was prettier than Zumwalt. Sorry Lisa.
And a marmot needing the LoL treatment, but I can't think of anything.
